1) Capstone Project Summary:

In the box below, please type out a 200 – 300-word summary highlighting the key points and
information that you plan to present during your Capstone Project presentation.

During my capstone presentation I plan to bring the physical copy of my poetry book and allow Mr. Main a
few moments to flip through and see what I made.
Then I plan to walk through my process, reading my journal entries and all my evidence and artifacts of
when I was writing, what inspired me how I chose my poems and what I meant in the way I wrote them.
I plan to walk him through the whole process on my website, each tab and provide examples of my creative
process.
I will show him three examples of my inspirations from the references page, a big inspiration to me has
been Rupi Kaur and I will read out her poems that inspired me. I will then briefly talk about the trial-and-
error process of actually publishing this book, building the cover, uploading files, selecting the layout and
possibly the distributing process if I make it that far.
Finally, I plan to present at least ten of my personal favorite poems or 2-3 from each chapter to Mr. Main
and read them aloud highlighting what I was trying to say the process of writing and how I chose this design
and layout.
