Capstone Blog Post #3

#3 Okay! Now we’re working on our slides or videos. I’m doing a TedTalk. I chose a TedTalk because I think that the teachers would like if I did my Capstone the way that we were going to do it. As it being my last year in elementary school with Coronavirus, I want to feel as close as possible to school. My genetics/human evolution topic was hard but good. It took SOOOOO much longer than I thought! For example one image in the eye section, I had to change it so many times! In the final video, It was worth it though. The result was worth it, but it was REALLY TIRING doing so much capstone every day! When we were doing takes of the presentation, there were SO MANY! I kept repeating it until I got it right. Overall, the capstone was tiring, but worth it. (I enjoyed my topic.) 

 

Capstone Blog Post #2

#2 In our capstone, we have started interviewing people for our topics. As you know, I’m doing genetics. I interviewed a man named Tariq. He works at Capricor Therapeutics. He’s actually working on a cure for COVID 19! Anyway, I thought that the interview would be awkward because I didn’t know him in person. But really, he was nice and a good resource, and it wasn’t awkward. I really got a lot out of it and it was a great experience.             

Capstone Blog #1

#1  We are starting our capstones and my topic is genetics. My main inquiry question is : How did the human species genetically evolve over time to make us who we are today? A few things that were helpful to me making my main inquiry question are my teacher and teacher aide who helped me narrow it down, and my parents who helped me go over my question, so thank you! It was also hard to pick my main inquiry question because there’s so many parts in the field of genetics.There’s like, a million things in genetics. It was hard to choose between all of them. This is really fun so far though, and I hope to keep enjoying capstone.

King George, What was his problem?! Reflection

I am thinking so far about how much more to the revolutionary war than I thought. All the important people that I didn’t know existed. etc… Benedict Arnold! I mean, I didn’t even know that he was a person! I wonder why all those people weren’t as famous as George Washington?! And who else is there to learn about?!

 

Patriots vs Loyalists

Patriots and Loyalists are almost the opposite of  each other. Patriots are against King George lll  and British soldiers. Loyalists fully support King George lll and British soldiers. But Patriots and Loyalists are both colonists. In conclusion, all the colonists have different opinions about King George lll.
