Working On My Final Product
After completing my research and essay, and answering my main inquiry question, it was time for the final product – google slides! I had fun creating my slides and script, and was happy with how they turned out. My slides were based on all the research I had done over the past few weeks, including my interviews and site visit. I wrote a few lines of script for each slide. I had to make sure that while reading my script as part of my presentation, I would not go over seven minutes. I was lucky to get it right on my first attempt, though I was worried that I would go over the time limit!
Making my slideshow was fun and it was also easy to make. It was really enjoyable to make the slideshow because I liked decorating the slides(making the background and adding the pictures) and it was easy because I made my script before I made my slideshow, so I knew what pictures/words I wanted to put on each slide.
One of the major challenges in creating my slides was to take all the information I had gathered since I started working on Capstone, which included my interviews and my site visit, each of which were one hour long. This information had to be condensed into a handful of slides (I made seventeen). Bioplastics is also a complex topic, so I had to come up with ways to explain it in a simple manner, so that everyone could understand it. Thankfully, I overcame these challenges and was able to come up with some interesting slides based on what I learned. It was fun searching for the right images to use, and I even included a funny emoji in one of my slides.
I am really happy with my choice of topic for Capstone, which helped me learn so much about bioplastics and biodegradable plastics. I learned a lot about how these materials can help the environment, and why they are so important for our planet’s future. I loved making the slideshow and I can’t wait to present to my school and all the parents.
