Capstone Presentation Reflection

1. The presentation went very well. I presented about eight times before the judge to different people so I felt like I had enough practice by the time the judge came around.
2. It was better than I expected and easier. I felt pretty confident when the judge came around.
3. If I could do anything differently, I would have cited some of my information out loud.

Ted Talks

According to the speaker, if you just think a little harder and put things you already know together, you have the power of creating something or discovering something new. You have to be more creative, of course, but all you're doing is putting knowledge that you already have together. I guess this can be paralleled with the senior project since you're asked to be creative to come up with an end product. It's not impossible.

Look and Feel Issues

My presentation will have a soft kind of school look to it since it is aimed at middle schoolers and elementary school kids. 

I want light colors (like light green, blue, purple, etc.). I want to put images of notebook paper and kids writing in journals as well as older kids helping other kids. 

I believe my site will be persuasive because I plan to include a lot of evidence with research I've done already. 

I want to make my point of view understood by using real life children as examples and including interview answers with kids.

I intend to create a resource for children going to school using bright cheerful colors.

Capstone Project Statement of Intent

The goals of my project are:

• Reach out to any at risk kids
• Invite administrators and parents to get involved with their child's life
• Reduce kids from participating in risk factors associated with juvenile delinquency

These goals should be important to us because the kids in school right now are our future and will one day be the ones taking care of us. Their actions affect us more than we think and we don't need any more juveniles in detention. The root of the problem starts at home and early on during childhood.

This fits into my career goals because I wanted to be a counselor for the juveniles in detention.

My project gives back to society in that I want to implement programs in schools.

Teaching, Learning, Sustainable Community Building is the Richland triple bottom line. I believe my Capstone project fits into each of these categories because working with at risk kids always teaches you something or impacts your life as well as the community in some way.

PSA

I personally liked the Flower/Heart & Stroke PSA because of the reverse flower coming to life again. I liked the simple white background because the focus was solely on the flower and it was a very effective symbol for heart disease. I want my PSA to have a serious tone as well and more importantly, I want it to be simple and to the point.

What What How What?

I chose my historic photo because that picture has always captured my attention and the contentment of the soldiers as well as civilians after the war was very noticeable. A few challenges I hit while photo shopping myself in this picture was that my face came out much more lighter than the people in the photo, the noise of the photo was more than my picture, and I was also having trouble sizing myself to a believable and rational size. The final outcome was actually better than I thought...The era of 'vintage' I feel drawn to is the 1920s

Online Copyright

You cannot use anything you don't make yourself. 

Hmmm. This may apply when you want to sell something or make money out of something. However the loop hole in the copyright laws applies to students. Therefore, if you are a student & you use a Google image, you cannot get in trouble for using the image for a school project.

Yes? No? Maybe so...?

Capstone Topic

My Capstone topic is avoiding teen delinquency. My solution so far is incorporating notebooks, or 'diaries', into mentor programs already at different schools, as well as a sheet that mentors will use to keep track of student's progress. The point of the notebook is for the student that is being mentored to write in it every day and eventually let the mentor read it, giving the student an opportunity to learn to trust.
