Capstone was very hard. Especially while I was doing my final video, I was stressing a lot.
After I did my slides, I started to practice my script and it was very tough. I practiced about 4 slides a day and I filmed on Sunday. The filming took a few hours to get it right. I kept thinking, “I should’ve done a Spark Video,” or I thought “Maybe a screencast?” But honestly, I’m proud I did a TED-Talk because I find it the most challenging and I took it. It may have taken me forever to do Capstone, but it’s ok because I can look back and see all the hard work I put into Capstone and it shows me I can work harder.
Answering my main inquiry question was complicated. There are many steps to becoming a successful baker so, of course, I have to break it all down. Some of the steps are, having the right tools, having the best ingredients, making sure your treats look good, all that because that’s what makes people want to buy your cakes and then you become successful.
I believe overall, Capstone is a great learning experience. My advice to future fifth graders starting Capstone would be even if it’s hard, keep going, because, in the end, you’ll see how good your Capstone will turn out!
