Capstone is a project that only 5th graders get to do. I have been waiting to do this for a long time and now I finally get to do it. Capstone is when you pick a topic to research. It could be any topic you want, as long as you are interested in it. You then present all of your research in a movie, ted talk, or ignite. For my topic, I chose to do interior design.

The process of thinking about the topic was easy. I started to think of things that I was interested in, and I could not think of That much. But then I remembered I loved helping my mom pick out the wallpaper, the rugs, the cabinets, and more when we redid our basement and kitchen. I found it really interesting that there are so many things to think about when it comes to interior design. This is how I ended up doing interior design as my topic.

I decided to make my main inquiry question “How have interior design styles for bedrooms changed over the last 100 years?” I decided to make it this because when I decided I wanted to do my capstone on interior design I searched for interior design on google. The first article I saw was about history. After reading it I decided to make my main inquiry question about the history of interior design. When I spoke with Ms. Robert wanted me to pick a certain area of the house. So I decided to do the bedroom. This is why my main inquiry question is “How have interior design styles for bedrooms changed over the last 100 years?”

The process of coming up with sub questions was really hard for me. We needed to have 5 which is a lot. After a day I had only thought of 2, and they were not the best. What made it easier to think of them is help from my friends. They helped by just showing me what their sub questions were. After a long time of thinking, I finally thought of 5 sub questions. My questions are “How have the color schemes changed over time?”, “What features of bedrooms changed the most?”, “Are there features that have not changed?”,  “How do bedroom styles affect the rest of the house?”, “How has interior design improved to be more eco-friendly?

So far this project has been interesting. It was fun and easy but challenging at the same time. Hopefully, my project will come together soon. I also hope this project becomes easier as I keep going.
