Capstone #7

After a lot of time and effort put in to my capstone I have finally finished! My class and I had to practice speaking to an amount of people before we do the actual presentation in front of other parents.

We did that by presenting our capstones to kindergarten and second grade classes, but first I had to present in front of my class. At first, it was very nerve-racking, because I had no idea when I would mess up, or if I might forget my script because I didn’t have my script in my hands. But the second time I presented in front of my class, I felt like I really knew what I was doing and knew the script by heart. When I presented to the kindergarteners and the second graders I started to feel more comfortable.

We also had to be filmed in front of the camera, and that made me just a little bit nervous, and I made a little mistake, but overall it was fine. Lastly, I presented in front of other parents, and I think all that practice really helped me control my pace, and help me memorize it even more, because it went really well.

It is such a relief that capstone is finally over, but even though it was challenging, it was also very fun and a great experience to have!

This is my final presentation, and I hope you like it and learn something new:

Passion Project #7

Yesterday, I have finished baking the blueberry lemon cream tarts. It wasn’t that hard once I started baking, but there was one challenge, which is getting the crust of the tart to have a really nice, hard shape. The crust was mostly made out of graham cracker crumbs, so it was hard to get a really good shape. If you put in a little, the crust will break instantly after you take it out of the tart pan, and if you put too much, the crust will be way too thick.

But, after I finished, it looked exactly like the picture on the website where I got the recipe. If you want to see the picture, click this link, www.epicurious.com. Besides the look, it tasted really good. The taste was not what I expected at all, and I think I really impressed myself.

What I will be working on is the final video. I am so proud of what I baked, and this is a huge accomplishment in my baking!
