My class and I just started capstone! I am so excited! Capstone is a project that the fifth graders do at the end of the year. My project is going to be about plant based eating. The main question That I am researching is “what are the positive impacts of plant based eating” and my sub questions are 

• “ What is a plant based diet and what does it look like on a regular bases,” 
• “What impact does plant based eating have on the environment,” 
• “What are the economic benefits of a plant-based eating?”
• “what are the impacts of a plant based diet on the human body” 
• “What are the difficulties of eating plant based?” 

already knowing a little bit about my topic was really helpful with picking my main inquiry question. That made it so that I chose a question that nobody had the answer to yet. One of the challenging things about choosing a main question to research is choosing just one. There were tons of things I could have researched with my topic but eventually I narrowed it down to what are the positive impacts of plant based eating. 

As a learner I know that I usually learn best when I read or listen to things more than once, project based learning or if I can experience what I am learning about that’s why I decided to become a weekday vegetarian for this project. That means that I am a vegetarian but only during the week on the weekends I can eat meat. I thought this was a good choice because I can’t go out to the store all the time and get ingredients for vegetarian dishes due to the coronavirus pandemic so this was a good compromise. I can’t wait to work on this project some more!
