I bet that everyone reading this has seen the Statue of Liberty someway or another but do you know the history of it? Or how its symbolism has changed overtime? Well, my Capstone question is: “What is the history of the Statue of Liberty and how has its symbolism changed overtime?” After reading this, you will know just exactly that. Before talking about my final product I will be talking about the process of answering my main inquiry question.

The process of answering my main inquiry question was very long. The first thing that we did was figure out what our main inquiry question is, then we came up with sub questions to help us answer our main question. We then had an interview with a professional about our topic and they helped us answer our sub questions. After that we had to write an essay answering our main inquiry question.  Overall answering our main inquiry question only took four steps and wasn’t that hard.

When we were done answering our main question we got to choose whether we were going to do a ted talk, a movie, or an ignite. I personally chose a ted talk because I’ve never done one and I wanted to try something new. When I was working on my final product I tried to find the best quality pictures for my presentation so they would not be blurry. I also presented my presentation many many times in front of my parents and in front of my class. We then recorded it for it to be placed on YouTube. Then on the 15th of June we will have our final presentation in front of all of our parents.

Overall I think that Capstone has been in my top three favorite 5th grade projects although it’s also been the hardest. I think that Capstone is a great way to end elementary school. I’ve learned so much so far from Capstone such as being determined. I hope that you have loved Capstone as much as I did. To see my slideshow click this link
