Module 1
Final Preparations for your Capstone Presentation
As you work on the final elements of your capstone project, you need to consider what "extras" you will need to assist you with you presentation. This module is to help you organize your thinking and presentation ideas.
The Capstone Presentations will take place on Thursday, May 11th from approximately noon-3:00 p.m. You will have up to 15 minutes to present, then up to 5 minutes for questions.
Every Grade 12 student is required to complete the following form for organizational purposes. The information will be shared with all individuals who are evaluating the capstone presentations. You must complete this form by Monday, May 1st.
The final Capstone presentation schedule and locations will be posted on Thursday, May 4th. At that time, the link to your slideshow file will be requested and due by Tuesday, May 9th.
If you are unable to complete your presentation on May 11, you are required to contact Mrs. Sussex as soon as possible, and no later than Monday, May 1st (Email: jsussex@acrss.org).
Finalizing Your Capstone Representation
Your representation (or final piece) will be to showcase your learning during your capstone presentation. Your final piece is to show what you now understand about your topic.
Your capstone representation might do any of the following (but is not limited to):
Demonstrate a new skill
Demonstrate your new knowledge and understanding
Showcase what you have created
Show how you can apply what you’ve learned to broader concepts
Show the transformation you have gone through
Explain the decisions your capstone has helped to make about your future
How Should I Show What I Did?
Your representation can take many forms, such as a film or video, a document, a performance, or something you have created. Think about your essential question – what is the best way to represent your answer?
Examples: a robot you built, a game you coded, a live demonstration, a work ready application portfolio, a compilation of audio recordings, a final art piece / animation / fashion piece / cookbook, slide show, TEDTalk like speech, spoken word poem, a compilation of vlogs filmed along the way, a booklet of your learning evidence and journal, a short story about your journey, an essay…
This list is in no way exhaustive! Google “Ways to Demonstrate Learning” or “Ways to Present What You Know” to be inspired by different ideas. Think of how you learn best, how you could best present your topic and essential question (and answers!) and what representation style most inspires you!
This is a "show" and "tell" presentation...
Your final phase of your capstone project is your oral presentation – this is what you’ve worked so hard for! Your presentation, supported by audio and visual aids, will explain your interests, essential question, research, Career Explorations, representation, and the link between them.
You are welcome to invite others to share in your capstone presentation, such as your mentor, your parents, friends, colleagues, family members or others that provide support in your life. You are likely nervous about speaking in front of an audience, but remember that you are the expert, and you have invested a significant amount of time and energy into this project! This is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself!
