Instructions:

Congratulations on successfully completing and presenting your Capstone Project! The last requirement of the Capstone Project is to reflect on the process by writing a three to four page reflection on your process and product addressing the following questions. You must place this reflection paper at the back of your capstone portfolio binder and pass in the binder to your advisor for your capstone project to be graded. As you begin to draft your final reflection, consider how you might respond to the following questions:


  • The WHS Capstone is a unique and demanding challenge. In completing it, what did you learn about your subject? Your skill set? Yourself? How is your project relevant to you, the school or the community-at-large?

  • What skills do you feel you have mastered? Which do you need to still work on?

  • What impact did your capstone project have?

  • Thinking about the whole process and your finished product, what are you most proud of?

  • What was a difficulty you encountered and how did you solve the problem?

  • What is one thing about your approach to your project that you wish you could change? Why?

  • What is one thing about your finished project you wish you could change? Why?

  • How accurately did you answer your central question? Did your central question change at all during the course of your project? Why?

  • How effectively did the presentation method you chose work for presenting your project in a clear and engaging manner? Why was it effective? Would you change your presentation method now if you could? Why?

  • What source from your research helped you the most? (or least?)

  • What advice would you give to a student who will be completing their Capstone Project next year?


Keep in mind that you don't have to answer ALL of these questions, but your paper should show thoughtful reflection about your personal growth throughout the capstone project.
