Senior Project

The theme of our group project is reminiscation. Our video reminisces over the events that took place during our senior year here at RCHS. My part in the project was that I helped with the editing process and choosing which images to feature in the video. The hardest part of creating our project was choosing an appropriate song to use in our video. The easiest part was choosing which pictures to use in our video because we had so many pictures at our disposal.

Senior Farewell Project

Victoria and Feven are in my group.
Our project is going to be a video that features pictures of events and RCHS students taken throughout the year.
I am contributing to the picture selection and editing process.

Capstone Presentation

At my booth, I had my name tag, laptop (which showed my end product- a video), my infographic, my trifold, and a folder with the most current draft of my capstone essay.

Overall, the whole experience wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The hardest part was waiting over an hour for the judge to come to my booth. At first, I was anxious, but after my judge came and I introduced myself, the anxiety went away. He was a pretty easy person to talk to and he didn't look so intimidating. He asked me several questions, some of which were challenging to answer, but hopefully I answered them sufficiently. The most fun part of the presentations was coming back on Wednesday, the day after I presented, and walking around to see everyone's booths. 

Capstone Presentation

For my Capstone Presentation, I will be using a 20x40 in. trifold poster on which to display my Capstone Poster on, as well as my laptop and/or a tablet that will display my website and my end product, which is a video.

Honestly because my topic is on mental illness stigma, I don't really think there's much else I could include on my table that would be relevant, so I'm hoping that my topic is interesting enough for people to want to stop by.

Infographic Poster

My infographic poster relates to my Capstone Project because it helps as a visual aid and shows my audience the main points of what I have learned from my research and what I wish to share with them. Thanks to the research I've done all school year, I did not have to do any further research. The easiest thing about creating the infographic was that I did not have to come up with what to say or put on the poster because I had all the materials needed to create the poster. On the other hand, the hardest thing about creating the infographic was that it was challenging to dig into my creativity and to come up with something original and aesthetically pleasing, which is a problem I think I still should work on. I created this infographic during Winter Term, but since then, I have made a few changes. After viewing some of my classmates' examples, I decided that it would probably be better if my poster didnt have so many words.
