Capstone #7

Presenting was a bust. Or was it… let’s find out.

 

On day one for presenting, I was disappointed. About seven people came to my station. I was hoping to get more than at least 10 people, but apparently that didn’t happen. Also, the people who looked at my i-movie looked really bored and was probably saying in their minds, “Ugh i’m soooooooooooooo bored” or “c’mon hurry uuuupppppppppp!!!” I wasn’t really happy with the results.

On day two, only my mom came and watched my i-movie at my station, while all the other parents just looked at my station. I was happy with the results for that day because people (also known as my mom) actually looked at my blog, which was very exciting for me. But since it was was the last day presenting capstone, I was a bit sad, because I would never be able to do this again.

Overall, for capstone, it was an incredible journey through all the research, time and effort to do all of this work. Anyway, I loved capstone and i’m sure the next 5th graders will love it too!

Capstone #6

For capstone, the way I will be presenting is with an i-movie! I picked this as my “presentation” because, 1. I don’t like doing google slide presentations 2. I like i-movies! I also have a poster, which has a QR code, a simple definition of gymnastics, and more. I am very proud of my final product because even though I had to make major changes throughout my i-movie, my teacher, Mrs. Cooper approved it and we were all happy. Yay! 🙂

Making my poster was very easy, because I had all the ideas soaring in my head like Harry Potter (weird comparison, I know.) So it was very easy to create it. My poster is a hot pink with a light pink and some purple cloud accents.

I know this is a very, very brief blog, but overall, I am very proud of my capstone results and I hope lots of people will come to my station and love it! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Capstone #5

For my capstone blog #5, i’ll be talking about how hard or how easy it was to end up answering my main inquiry question. But first of all, the main inquiry question is supposed to help us with our project in general, like helping us with what to talk about during our presentation. Anyway, let’s “flip” right into this blog post! 🙂

My main inquiry question is, “How does men and women’s gymnastics compare/differ?”. I think that answering this question was a bit challenging, because I usually can’t find resources that link up to one of my sub-questions, and those lil’ sub-questions help A LOT. Especially one that I can’t really get any resources from, which is, “Has the number of men or women gymnasts increased or decreased? If so, why?”. Even though I can’t really answer that one, i’m still trying to look for some resources. Although there were some struggles through the process, like changing sub-questions, doing research, citing sources, and even researching more, I think that those struggles will be just fine because I still have a bit more time left to keep researching more. Overall, this process has had a lot of struggles and challenges, but i’m sure i’ll figure it out and hopefully I will also be able to finish my i-movie (which our class has been starting but i’m not going to tell you just yet) in time. Fingers crossed! As usual anyway…

Capstone #4

For capstone, I have to do my interview and site visit. For this blog I will be doing my site visit. If you haven’t seen my last blog post about my interview, you should probably read it before this one. Anyway, my site visit was lame, just like my interview… I wasn’t really amused by my site visit because the place I was visiting was my local gym, in the JCC (jewish community center) Mid Westchester building. Since I always go to the gym for my gymnastics, it just feels like a regular place to me, not like a fancy building loaded of famous gymnasts. I figured my gym would be amusing, because you know, it’s gymnastics. People flip at random times, and they look reaaaallly cool. But as usual, you don’t always get the things you want. Overall, I wished that I would have gone to cooler places just instead of my gym that I always go to. But I think that even though it wasn’t really “action packed” and “amusing”, but I still am grateful for what I got to do, because it’s the gym. It’s fun. As usual.
