Capstone is a very big topic in 5th grade. I wanted to choose a topic that I will be really interested in and I would enjoy Researching. My Capstone topic is Disney World. My main inquiry question is, how Disney World evolved over time and why? I think it was not that hard coming up with sub-questions because Disney World has a lot of history and its really big. I think that helped because there was a lot to write about Disney World. I have been to Disney World many times before, and that helped me choose my main inquiry question because I knew the parks and rides and other things that they have in Disney World. For example, I know what the Disney castle looks like because I have seen so many times before. That helped me with my question because I already know a little about my topic so that might help me when I am researching. Something challenging when I was choosing my main inquiry question was I did not know if I would be able to find research about Disney World when it first opened, all the way up until now. I did not think that there would be research of all the years that Disney World was open, or I didn’t know if any resource would have the answer to why all those changes were made. 

What I have learned about myself is that I can be an independent learner and research something that I am interested in. For example, I am interested in Disney World, so I chose Disney World as my topic, and now I get to do research on something that I am interested in.
