After I got an interview, we started working on the real project. By this time I decided I was going to pick to make a movie. It was way easier- think, in a cap- talk you have to memorize the script and when you do that- when it’s cap day, the recording is going to […]
I think capstone is great. But I think the worst part is either finding an interview or memorizing my “ted talk”. I mean, I have ten resources, why do I need more information? Finding an interview sucks. It’s really hard to look for experts in your topic, especially if your topic is a unique one. […]
Hi A Capstone project is another school project, a research project actually, and we had to pick a topic, research about it, conduct a little interview, and talk a bit about it at the end. Or, we could’ve made a movie, short movie really, only 3 – 5 minutes long. My topic was initially about space. […]
For another school project, we had to interview an immigrant and make another video about them. I decided to interview my mom. But, we had other plans. My mom went to an opera and she wouldn’t come back until 10pm, and she told me I had to do it today. The only other immigrant I […]
I wonder why Mr. Nassaer is the only person who decided to help Mahmoud and his family? Is it because he is also a refugee? Mr. Nasser might be a refugee because he fled from his homeland several decades ago because of a war. He is living in Turkey because the war is still […]
About two weeks later I started working more on my Rube Goldberg machine again. That was because the deadline was coming soon and I didn’t realize that until my mom reminded me. So, we spent a long time and finished it all in one night. There were many times when either the project exploded or […]
Fish in a Tree Literary Essay David M. In the book Fish in a Tree by the author Lynda Mullaly Hunt, it teaches readers that self-doubt can lead to misjudgments and hinder learning. I think this because Ally often doubts her ability to read and write, since she, the main character, has dyslexia. For […]
The first part of our new science project was to draw a sketch of the big chain reaction (rube goldberg) machine we would have to ultimately make. It would be big and complex, 8+ steps, and perform just a simple movement or two for that whole thing. At first, I didn’t know what to make of […]
We had a project where we ultimately had to record a video about a research question related to the Constitution and Amendments and whatever else is related. I chose my research topic related to Civil Rights because I already knew much of the stuff (and soon figured out that I didn’t), and I didn’t […]
I’ve always wondered how thunderstorms and what is happening inside them, and I thought it was a good topic to write about, where I also get to research about it. Looking back, I think writing the actual article was the most enjoyable, though. I liked writing about thunderstorms in my own words, writing […]
