Capstone is a project in 5th grade where you come up with a topic and make a question about the topic and answer it with a tedtalk, an ignite, and a movie video. The whole project is quite stressful and it requires tons of research, for me, it’s a little bit nerve-racking but exciting.

To come up with my topic I wanted to do something simple but with a complicated history and question, I thought of some choices and I chose cheese because it just seemed the best and cheese and it might be an interesting topic to research.

After I chose my topic, we had to come up with main inquiry questions which were our main questions to answer. Once I came up with a good question the teacher would call you over and try to improve the question and make it more broad or narrow. The main inquiry question for me was what is the history behind cheese and how do different cultures incorporate cheese into their lifestyles? It was quite challenging since I had to come up with multiple main inquiry questions and then choose my favorite one.

Sub-questions were made after your main inquiry questions and they were supposed to help guide your research and help answer some of the questions. Coming up with them was a little challenging since you needed 5-6, 2 random sub-questions I came up with were what are the different ways to make cheese, and what is the history of cheese?

Overall, this project so far is seeming very good and I look forward to finishing this project soon.
