Capstone Blog Post #4

Our Capstone journey is coming to an end. I have done 3 blog posts and this will be my 4th and final blog post! I have had a lot of fun learning about Disney princesses and how their evolutions have made positive and negative impacts on girls and boys. But now I have been working on my final project.

First we had to start with the script. This wasn’t too hard since we had already done our essay. I got a lot of the things that I have in my script from my essay. But then I had to start to make it more like an actual ted talk, since it sounded like I was just saying my essay at first. I also noticed that I didn’t have too many slides, so my audience would most likely get bored. I started fixing my script and adding a lot more slides. Once I finished fixing it I ended up having 30 slides and a much more interesting presentation. It definitely didn’t sound like an essay anymore!

Second was slides. To be honest this was pretty hard. Finding the right pictures was very hard! Also making sure that they weren’t copy writed was very hard since I could never find any good pictures. Some of my pictures were super easy to find, but for a lot of them it took more than 10 minutes to just find a picture! But then picking a picture for a slide was easy, just finding the picture was the hard part.

Third was memorizing. Honestly this was so easy. For most of my slides I accidentally memorized them which was really good. But whenever I had to present I knew I had memorized everything, I was just too nervous to not use my flash cards. But when I presented without my flash cards I did really well, and I felt more comfortable since I didn’t have flash cards in my hands. I also felt more comfortable pointing to things and moving around more since I wasn’t focused on looking at my flashcards for the whole time.

Overall my Capstone journey has been so much fun, and I am a bit sad that it is coming to an end. I had a lot of fun learning about Disney princesses. I loved interviewing people, making my slides, and having the thrill of presenting in front of my whole class. I can’t wait to show you guys my final project!
