This project I am going to be having my capstone project. This project is meant to warp up my six years at Heathcote by having a big project. A capstone is when you research any topic you want. After you pick a topic you have to research the topic. When I start to do my research I am going to search on the web on my topic read book but also we are required to interview any adult of choice that knows a thing or two on the topic and that is another way to get our information. Overall I am excited about the project but I will say I am a little bit worried about having to talk in front of everybody I will say I am improving my feeling about it.

When I went into this project I had no idea what was going to happen because I have no older brother so I was never told what it was. After I was explained what we are doing I decided to pick the second congo war. Although I picked this topic it was not easy to decide. I knew at the start I did not want to pick a papular topic like WW11 but I was open to doing it on wars because these are important topics. When I was picking my topic I also wanted to pick a topic that was not the most well know. I looked up wars on ` google and I got a big list of wars. After looking at the list I remember seeing a war called the second congo war and I thought this was a joke as in the dance the “Congo” and that’s what other people thought too but when I looked deeper inside it I saw it was a big topic and had 5.4 million die what is in the top 15 war with the most deaths. After hearing that it inte me to do the Second Congo War impose on other topics.

After I knew what my topic was going to be I had to come up with my main inquiry questions which were challenging but in a good way. The main reason why it was hard was that I had known nothing about the second congo war so I had to do some pre-research to understand a thing or two about the second congo. After I did some research I came up with the question “How did the second congo war impact the people of congo and how have they responded” overall I was very satisfied with the question

When I was coming up with these questions I thought they had some challenges but it was not as challenging as the other challenging. When I was coming up with these I just sat down and brained stormed. Two examples f my questions were “ how did the war start” and “how have most people died from this deadly war” overall I found this pretty easy.

Overall this project is going well. I can not wait to proceed and do more research, but most of all I can not wait to present to presentation.
