When we found out that making our final project was the next step in Capstone I had no idea what I was going to do. The choices were iMovie, Ignite, and a Ted Talk. I already knew I wasn’t going to do an Ignite because I wouldn’t get that much information out. But I wanted to do an iMovie but what would bring it together. By that I mean like an interview, travling back in time e.t.c. and that didn’t really make sense with my topic. I knew you can’t just list random facts. Mrs. Edwards gave me the idea to do a time line and focus up on the really important parts but It sounded a little boring. The last thing that was left was the Ted Talk. I thought it would be good because I would be able to tell a lot of information but I just didn’t want present it. I would have to deal with it thought. I decided to do a Ted Talk. The next step was deciding what slides I would want to have and how many slides I would have. It was hard coming up with the slide because I was going in the direction of doing each slide as a different important time. I didn’t like that idea so I did the things that would be most important. My interview answers helped me with that. When I was done making my slides this is what I came up with. The introduction, How Crayola came to be, Crayola from the beggining, The Crayola crayons thought the years, Crayola now, Hit products, Improvments and the ending. I thought these were the right amount of slides and I would be able to tell a lot of information about these slides but it would take some work doing it. I decided to write a script becasue I’m not the type of person who can just go up and present all the information that I know that relate to the topic. I would take a while thinking of it and making sure it would make sense. I would also repete a lot of things. I started writing the script one slide by each slide. I started writing on the index cards and I relized it’s hard to get the really important parts because there is so  much information included in each topic. Now I finally finished my index cards on what I’m going to say during my Ted Talk. All I have to do is practice and fix some little things. Overall I can’t wait to present my Ted Talk!
