Hello, my name is Trevor and I have been working on a capstone. My capstone topic is Tesla. I Researched tesla and then transformed my research into a presentation.
First, I needed to come up with a main inquiry question and sub-questions, we needed 5 subquestions. Once I had finished My sub-questions I worked on my research. I researched one sub-question at a time I average about 300 words per sub-question, I found a lot of good websites, and my strategy was to copy and paste my sub-question and check out the first thing that comes up. I would scan the entire website to find facts that answer my topic the most and put them in my research. My main inquiry question was what factors have most contributed to Tesla’s success as the company we know it is today? Some of my sub-questions were, the reason is that the appeal of Tesla cars is so strong, and Elon Musk helps design and promote Tesla cars. I found it hard to find good websites because tesla is growing at a rapid pace and it is hard to find an up to date websites. Tesla was also not that popular for a while and had a recent spike in sales. There were a few websites that helped me a lot. I found it hard to put the words of the website into my own. The sites were phrased perfectly. If I phrased it differently most of the time It would sound unprofessional. My favorite part of researching was being able to explain tesla to my friends because I knew so much about it. I felt like an expert.
Once I had finished answering the main inquiry question I worked on my essay. My essay was in my case very easy because I already had all of the material I was going to transform into my essay on a document. I needed to filter a lot of the information because some of it wasn’t strong or I Had to rewrite sections because they did not make sense. My essay took a while because I had so much good info it was hard to put it into essay form. I managed to have a 1600-word essay. I finished the first draft of my essay that day. Then I took around 2 to3 days to edit my essay when I finished my essay I showed it to my dad. He looked over it then I was officially finished with my essay.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed the project even though the research was tough I really enjoyed it. Now it was time to put my essay into a presentation. It’s been fun But I am excited to have it be done.
