Just Actin' Like Rania

It was iteration after iteration. That was my process for my script. I wrote one thing then changed it and added more on to it. I made one script then changed it and did that process a couple more times, till my fourth redo of the script came around and once I read it I knew that that script was the one. I am still a little worried that it isn’t long enough but I know that it will be fine. I am so excited to do my script with my flash cards, slide show, and in front of an audience. 

The slide show was the easiest part of capstone. I just did it based on my script. So for every different thing that I talked about, I did a different background. I searched for images like cocoa beans, the tree the cocoa bean grows on, and chocolate bars and pieces. I didn’t label them, except for one, because I will pretty much be talking about those images in my script. So that was an easy step in the process.

The business cards weren’t that hard either, when I knew how to do them. I had a design in mind since the beginning. I knew that I wanted to have a chocolate bar on it and I knew what I have to have on my business cards, so it was easy for me. The only annoying part of the process was when it was printed would it be readable, and was the card stock thick enough. Now I have them all done and I am so proud of them.

Finishing the project was both stressful and awesome. My favorite part was seeing all of my hard work done. I am super proud of myself and I can’t believe that I did all of this work.

I would like to give a big thanks to my mom, Ms. Boyer (my teacher), Bruce (the high school intern), and all of my friends for helping me with this project.

So, we had to research answers to our main inquiry question as well as our sub questions. Since my sub questions were pretty much my main inquiry question, it was easy to answer. I had a lot of resources as well as search terms. I searched the web for many websites. I went into some and went into others until I found one that was worthy to read. There were many helpful sources and some were just rubbish. Some sources that I used were Cadbury, The Washington Post, and my interview and site visit.

Some of things that I was looking online for were cocoa beans, the taste of chocolate, and the health benefits of chocolate. That is pretty much my main inquiry question. For my search terms, I just searched the part of my question that I was searching for. There were some search terms that weren’t even helpful and some that had several websites on it. But websites weren’t the only helpful resources, I got two books from the library. One book was more helpful than the other. Our librarian was very helpful. She helped me find the two books, which were also pretty helpful.

Overall, researching my main inquiry question was both cool, interesting, and (to be honest) a little bit boring.
