CAPSTONE PROJECTSECTION 1 – IntroductionThe Capstone Project is a multifaceted body of work that allows students to demonstrate theiracademic and intellectual experience. This process will allow you to showcase your ability toread, write, speak, think, plan, implement, be self-disciplined, problem solve, and organize yourwork. The Capstone Project is designed to be completed independently by students with theguidance of a staff mentor or expert in the field.The Capstone Project can focus on English, math, or both depending upon which area ofcollege and career ready demonstration is needed. This process cannot rely solely up on whatinformation students already know, but must demonstrate new learning and growth. Studentswill learn many skills through the completion of a Capstone Project. Some skills includecomplex problem solving, evaluation and synthesis of research, writing, communication,organization, time management, knowledge of technology and how to use it in a presentation,and oral presentation skills.The Capstone Project consists of four major components: a research paper, aproduct/performance/physical project, a portfolio, and an oral presentation. Students willmaintain a portfolio containing their mentor information, learning log, reflective paper and workscited page. To be successful, each student must complete and pass each component.The Capstone Project can be complete in the following ways: Within a class that has built the capstone project into its curriculum; As an independent study with an approved mentor.SECTION 2 – Project SelectionStudent choice is an important component of a successful Capstone Project. Given the amountof time that will be dedicated to this project, it is important to choose a project wisely. Studentsare best motivated to carry out the Capstone Project when the process deepens their learningand exploration of topics that capture their personal passions and goals.To start this process, students need to think about all the things in which they are interested –things they would like to do, learn, understand, see, improve, create, or experience. Brainstormand write down ideas as they pop into your mind. After you have several ideas, begin to narrowyour ideas down to three or four ideas which are doable and prioritize them. When decidingwhether or not a project idea is doable, consider whether or not research information andresources to complete the project are available. Remember, you project should maintain yourinterest for an extended period of time.SECTION 3 – Project Focus AreasService-Oriented ProjectsStudents choosing this project focus will be devoting a minimum of 25 hours to a communityservice project for which they will have to complete the research paper and develop a multimedia presentation. The process will begin with the selection of a need in the community andthe development of a plan to remedy it.

Examples: Restoration and improvement of a section of a neighborhood park Spend time at the Humane Society Design a service, such as after-school tutoring services or read to a resident at ValleyView Villa Participate on a community service board Organize a series of seminars to educate parents on teen issues.Career or Industry-based ProjectsStudents choosing this project focus will be completing a 25 hour internship in the field ofstudent he/she intends to pursue after high school. The process will begin with researchingpossible careers within a field of interests. Students will then select a mentor and begin the jobshadowing/internship process. The research paper will relate to an emerging issue within thefield.Examples: Job shadowing at the veterinarian’s office – research: how has technology impactedveterinary medicine? Job shadowing with a construction company – research: how is geometry utilized inconstruction? Auto mechanic – produce a systematic maintenance manual for car upkeep, includingapproximate costs, schedule, reasoning, etc.Curricular-based ProjectsStudents choosing this project focus area will select a particular curricular area in which to dooriginal, in-depth research.Examples: English – read an author’s primary works and research how historical events aredepicted in the author’s works and how was history influenced by the author’s works.Outcome product would be a collection of poems or short stories written in the author’sstyle. Health/Social Science – research the impact of sleep deprivation on cognitivedevelopment. Explore what an ideal school start time would be to maximize academicperformance. Outcome product would be a proposal or new start time schedule forschools with logistics accounted for.SECTION 4 – The PortfolioThe Capstone Project Portfolio is a collection of all required forms, research documentation, andreflection neatly presented in a 1-inch binder. The Capstone Project Portfolio documents theentire Capstone Project journey, including a reflection of what was learned. Guidelines on howto complete the portfolio will be provided. Templates and required forms are included in theappendix of this document.The portfolio must include: Cover Page, word processed and inserted in front of the binder Letter of Introduction to the Capstone Review Panel members Table of Contents

Capstone Letter of IntentCapstone Parental Permission FormCapstone Project Approval FormCapstone Research DocumentationCapstone Research Paper – clean copyCapstone Project Log (25 hours minimum)Capstone Product or Performance Documentation (photographs, DVD, etc.)Capstone Presentation OutlineCapstone Presentation Practice Feedback FormCapstone Project Reflection WorksheetCapstone ReflectionCapstone Portfolio ChecklistSECTION 5 – The Research PaperThe research paper should complement the topic that was selected for the Capstone Project.The paper should explore what is currently known about the topic, which will then lead to thedevelopment of a product or performance. The research paper is not just a report; it mustinclude a thesis statement that declares the main idea of the paper, that makes a statementabout the subject, and that engages the reader.The Research Paper must: Include 5 to 8 pages, excluding the title page or works cited page. Have a cover page that identifies the title, student, teacher/mentor, and date. Use a minimum of five resources, which need to be properly cited within the text andcontain a complete annotated bibliography. Be properly formatted with one-inch margins, double spacing, and twelve-point TimesNew Roman font. Use charts, graphs, photos when appropriate, but no decorative clip art or drawings. Be stapled in the upper left-hand corner. Address the following:o What I Know – Introduce the topic of research and explain your ideas and whatyou know about the topic.o What I Want to Find Out – Explain what it is that you want to know or uncoverabout the topic. Ask essential questions and develop your thesis. Explain whythis topic is important to you.o Research – What evidence did you uncover or discover? How did you supportyour findings? This can include interviews from within the field being researched.Interviews must be accompanied by a minimum of 15 interview questions with atranscript of the responses.o What I Learned – Combine your ideas and prior knowledge, with evidencesupported by research. What conclusions did you reach? What did you learn?Do you have the same ideas or interests that you started with? Or have theychanged and in what way?SECTION 6 – The Product/PerformanceThe third component of the Capstone Project is the creation of a product, a physical artifact orperformance that demonstrates what you learned during your research process. Whatever youselect for the product or performance must be of high quality, show what you learned,

demonstrate time and effort, and represent a connection to the research paper. A tri-fold boardfilled with photographs only is not acceptable.The product/performance must: Be a physical, tangible product or videotape of your performance. Be an extension of the research that was done. Be high quality and reflect time and effort as documented in the Project Log. Be a demonstration of what you learned.SECTION 7 – The PresentationThe final and culminating event of the Capstone Project will be the Capstone ProjectPresentation. The Capstone Review Panel may consist of teachers, administrators, andcommunity members. The presentation should be eight to ten minutes in length with a fiveminute question and answer period at the end. To build confidence, practice the presentationand ask for feedback that will help you refine your presentation. A Capstone PresentationPractice Feedback Form is included in the appendix. The key to a successful presentation is tobe prepared!The presentation must: Be eight to ten minutes in length with a five minutes answer time at the end. Include the product to provide physical evident of what you accomplished. Address the project, the research, the product and challenges that were encounteredalong the way that led to personal and academic growth.Key points to remember: Make eye contact with the panel members. Rehearse enough that you do not have to read your presentation. Avoid blocking your product or display. When pointing out portions of the product or display, use the hand that is closer to it.This keeps you from turning your back to your audience. Dress for success.o Have neatly styled hair and clean clothes.o Avoid unusual, provocative or inappropriate clothing.o Dress as if you are preparing for a job interview.
