Capstone #1: Choosing a Topic

“What should I choose?” I thought when we finally started Capstone. After thinking for about 30 seconds, I decided to do the place I tutor kids, the Saint Baptist Church. They have a reading program that kids can go to after school. I thought it would be great! Not my best moment. When I saw the Curriculum Wheel (a wheel to help us choose our topic by giving us a bunch of mini topics and having us write questions about them), I realized that I couldn’t fill in all the categories with questions! Music? Art? I had no clue! So I decided to keep looking for topics. The next one that I stumbled upon was Soviet Immigration. My mother and grandparents had immigrated from Ukraine, so I had a ton of people to interview. So I decided to do it! It was a difficult to choose, but I am very excited for our big project!
