Capstone Blog Post #1 and #2

We had just started Capstone and have already decided our topics. My class brainstormed ideas and then we got to choose from one of them. I chose to do my Capstone on Novak Djokovic. We had just started to form and brainstorm questions. We found our main topic that we wanted to study and then we split it into questions and formed branches of of the questions. So for my main topic I chose Novak Djokovic. I chose the topic of the tennis player was because he is my most favorite tennis player and I have always admired his skills. I wanted to learn more about him.

Our second step in the Capstone project is to come up with a main question out of all the other questions you created. I chose, why is Djokovic so successful at tennis and life? That question took many iterations. My first question was too based on opinion. So I had to change it but I couldn’t think of one that followed my idea and also at the same time was not based on opinion. This took a very long time to come up with something. My friend told me something random but it somehow made me think of the perfect question: what makes Djokovic such a good tennis player? Than I changed it to what I have now, what makes Djokovic succeed at tennis and life? I was finally done with my main inquiry question now I had to make smaller questions that fit under my main question.

This part was easy because I had planned that my main question would be able to have all my questions fit under my main question. After I found all the sub questions then I started to gather resources and list them in a doc for later use. At first I was talking to much so I got moved and than I started working but I didn’t get a lot of resources so that’s what I’m going to do today. I have already created comments on my blog post so I can remember what to do today and what to search for better resources. I will most likely spend all my time tomorrow working on finding the resources that I found and finding out which ones are useful and which ones are not. I think that all the resources that I find will be very useful because I will check the resource and skim it. Today I will just make resources and tomorrow sort the resources. Thanks for reading! I will keep posting.

 

Bye!
