The capstone project has been a big part of school these last couple of months. We had to pick our topics, decide on the main inquiry question, research, find an interview, and finally, we had to present the final project. Some parts of this process have been easier than others. For example, when I got an interview it was exciting, but when I was recording my Adobe video and there were background noises it was not very enjoyable because I had to rerecord it. But in the end, it all ended up well and made me feel accomplished.

   The research process all started with finding resources online or in books but this process was not easy. It all started with trying to find resources that fit your topic or that answered one of your sub-questions. It wasn’t easy but something helpful about finding resources in books was to look in the index at the back of the book. This was helpful because it showed the keyword for a page. Something that made it easier to find resources on the internet was to search for your topic, not your main inquiry question. This helps because it can find articles with a lot of information about your topic that you can search for something talking about your main inquiry question. Finding resources was difficult but getting information from these resources was not difficult because you just had to read, take notes, and put them on the correct subtopic slide for where the information goes. The research process was difficult and easy but it was worth the struggle because it taught me new information.

   With all of this information, I had to present it in some way. I could do a Ted talk, ignite, or a movie. I choose to do a movie because for me it is hard to memorize a script. I knew that making a movie would not be easy. For example, it had to be perfect no background noises or blurry photos. I decided to an Adobe video instead of a wevideo. There are some advantages like how it was less difficult to put the presentation together. But it also had disadvantages when the recording was glitching. Finding photos was also difficult because the diagrams I thought would be good to put in my Adobe video were copyrighted so I could not use the photo. I had to be creative with what photos I was using in my video. It was also difficult recording not just because it glitch but because there were background noises so I had to rerecord many times. Finally, when I thought that my project was done and I looked over it again it was not perfect so I had to change some parts of my presentation. That happened multiple times but my video got better every time so it was good that I made those changes. These changes have helped me make my presentation as good as it is right now. At the end of the presentation, I think it worked out well and that it is a good presentation.

   In conclusion, this presentation has been challenging and easier at some points but it all made my project a very interesting and informative presentation.
