Farewell RCHS 2015!!

VIDEO!!!!

The theme of our video was goodbye to the school year. Ruth, Nassim, Harman, were my group members. The hardest part of the project was getting content, because not many of my classmates wanted to talk in front of a camera. The easiest was filming. 

Senior farewell projects

Members:

Ruth, Nassim, Harmon, and me!

We are going to ask other students what their favorite memory is at RCHS. I will be recording the video along with Nassim

capstone presentations- afterwards

When I presented my capstone project to the judges it was shorter than I expected to be. Hopefully that isn't a bad sign, because I feel like the judges were not really invested into my topic and that they were worried about getting to the other presentations that they were assigned to. The hardest part was making my trifold look presentable, because I was clueless on what to do with it. There was no fun part on presentation day, but I am happy that it is over. I knew I could have done better on my presentation, and if I was given another chance I would definitely present again.

Capstone presentation

I had a trifold with my poster and a general idea of what hashtagnoedit.tumblr.com is. I made business cards and printed out media release forms to show what else I used for my project. I also had my laptop with hashtagnoedit displayed to show the judges my end product.

(Post) Infographic

How I made my infographic? How does it relate to my capstone? Did I have to do more research?

The first thing that I did was set a theme for my inforgraphic, which was technology. The font reminded me of the future and technology which went well with my topic: media. I didn't use any bright colors because I wanted to keep the infographic serious and not playful. I made a graph so that my infographic could have a visual instead of paragraphs. I used statistics that were mainly about young girls to show the everlasting effect that media has. I definitely had to do more research for my inforgraphic. Surprisingly I did not come across many statistics during my research for my essay, so I had to find some on the internet.

Hardest thing/easiest thing

The main obstacle that I encountered while making this infographic was starting out. It was difficult, at first, to figure out what I wanted my infographic to look like and what kind of message that I wanted to convey. After I had everything planned out, making it was not the problem anymore, the process was easy and fun.

Did you make any adjustments?

I did not make a poster in January term, because I had to recover a credit. So making a poster using photo shop was new to me.

Do you need to make any changes afterwards?

I do need to make a few changes on my infographic, such as adding more information and visuals. I might also need to make few other infographics so I can have a variety to use for my capstone presentation. 

Infographics

I have no idea what I am going to do for my infographic, but I thinking about tying it in with the PSA assignment.

Sample:
Title and Introduction: your thesis statement
Body Paragraph: supporting information
Body Paragraph 2:Supporting information
Body Paragraph 3: Supporting information
Conclusion

Remember!
The intro is a paraphrased version of the thesis statement. Body paragraphs support the thesis statement with specific examples and details. Cite sources at the bottom of the poster. Put your name!!
