Plan For My Booth:
Since My Last Progress Update:
As you can see from my timeline. I have made quite a lot of progress since my last progress update. Last week I found some more research and organised all of my information from my references onto one word document. I also drew up a plan for how my presentation is going to look at the exhibition on the 11th of November. I’m going to have 3 pieces of cardboard stuck together in a wall-like structure displaying information. There will also be criminal files of all the main suspects of The Zodiac, along with a notebook explaining how the killer managed to get away, and a file with stories of each of his victims.
How I Have Been Incorporating My Capabilities Into My Project:
In my last progress update I mentioned the capabilities I would be using to complete my project –
- Creativity
- Organisation
- Inquisitive
But this is more in depth-
Creativity
I have used creativity in my project to create a plan on how I am going to present my information in the exhibition. It was hard at first but after a few tries, I finished with a diagram of a booth which I am proud of and am looking forward to creating. Without creativity, I wouldn’t’ve been able to develop something as cool as what I have made; its more than just a PowerPoint, or words on paper. Hopefully it will attract the eye of the parents and students walking through the exhibition in Week 5.
Organisation
Without a good plan of how I was going to work for the next couple of weeks, it would be very difficult to produce a good quality project by the end with a large amount of research inside. I created a timeline of all the tasks I needed to do in the lead up to the exhibition, to ensure that I would have enough time and not just be rushing everything in the final few days. I tell myself goals of what I should complete by the end of the week to make sure I don’t fall behind. And as of right now, I am right on time.
Inquisitive
I found that this project has made me much more inquisitive about things than I was before. Since starting, I have shown much more interest in what I am learning which is something I struggled with before. This is greatly due to the fact that we got to choose what we wanted to do our projects on. I chose a crime case because I thought that it would be cool and unlike anything I’d ever done before, and it turns out I was right. I love working on this project and I am far more motivated to have a successful outcome when I am curious about what I am researching.
