Capstone Project Draft Proposal

Name of student: Michael Hunter Date: October 5th 2021

Teacher: Mr. Main Block: B

The Capstone strand I have chosen is ___________________________________________

Proposed title for my Project Proposal: (write the proposed title for your Capstone Project in one clear
sentence): Social media marketing and how to be able to monetize your account to make money. Need to be a
bit more specific as to which SM account(s) you are focusing on.

_________________________________________________________________________________

What is your inquiry question that interests you for further research? It should be a question that
connects with a purpose, passion or personalized area of interest for you. This is a question that you cannot
just google an answer for. Please see examples from your Capstone booklet.

My inquiry question is:

Learning how to make money on social media and how to grow your brand! This is a statement, and needs
to be converted into a question about learning how to do it.

Rationale/context: Detail your reasons for choosing this inquiry question. Explain WHY you are choosing to
investigate this topic as a major area of focus. How does this area of inquiry connect to your passion(s),
purpose? Why is it of personal interest to you?

I have always been interested in social media since I was a little kid watching youtubers every day.

Background: What background knowledge/connections/prior learning do you have in this area of inquiry?

I have been interested in social media since I was 12 but started when I was 15 to be able to start my career
because I knew it would be a long journey to do this every day with difficulties. Don’t you also already do
this?
Career connections: What is your intended career area at this point in time? What connections does this
inquiry question have to your life, academic and/ or career goals?

I want to be able to be my own boss and to be a social media influencer when I am older! Is there a specific area
you would like to focus on? What type of “boss” do you hope to be. A bit more specific details please.

Interdisciplinary and core competencies connections: What subject areas and core competencies will
be connected with your project? Outline and explain the connections.

For this section you need to relate what you plan to learn (draft proposal) and then what you learned
(final proposal) to the Curricular Core Competencies, which I attached to the back page of the Draft
Proposal handout.

Capstone Presentation medium: select one or more project mediums you wish to use to present your
project. Outline and give details about how you will present your project once completed. You may use a
combination of mediums.

o Electronic portfolio: Prezi or PPT

o Physical portfolio
o Website
o iMovie presentation
o YouTube channel
Power point
I think you could also demonstrate some of your most success SM posts and the outcomes/results of them.

Description of my Capstone project. Specific Project Details of the Capstone Project: what will you
research, create, study, produce, solve, investigate? What product will be produced at the end of this
project for evaluation. Write a one-page description outlining your proposal.
 How my growth in detail within September to February of how much I grew!

Show before and after results!

Resources/ Technology/Skills: Make an assessment of the resources, technology and skills you will
need to be able to complete this project. What is your plan to be able to access/learn all of the resources
necessary to achieve completion of this project? Detail your plans.

A lot of people do not realize that you need to put everyday into it. Just because you do it every day will not
mean you get followers or money! It took me two years online to build my account just to start making money! It
takes hours upon hours to build your account!

Project limitations: What are some project limitations and potential obstacles that you foresee that might
affect progress with your Capstone Project?

The growth of my account will change a lot within the next couple of months so I am going to have to update
everything by each month just so I am able to make it up to date as much as possible.

Other considerations: List and detail any other related information/ considerations about your project
that you feel should be included in your project proposal.

- Growing on social media

- How to monetize your account
- Building a community

References: Provide references: research, videos, etc. that offer some preliminary research you have
done for your project that shows you are able to access the key information that you will need to be able
to complete this project/work. Your list should be written using correct APA formatting.
This section is where you will list all of the websites, YouTube videos, articles, blog sites, interviews you do. This
is where you list your sources of information
