Imani Washington Capstone
in Capstone
My senior capstone was to have a deeper understanding of the term gentrification. I was interested in finding out more about this topic because gentrification is something that is taking place in my neighborhood constantly and rapidly. I have lived in my current neighborhood all of my life and the changes due to gentrification amaze me. My goal of this project was for me to have a deeper understanding of gentrification and how it affects people in my community. I did my own research on the topic as well as interviewing people that are involved in my community to hear their pitches on the issue and what they want to do to solve it . My capstone will fall under the performance projects since I am creating a presentation along with videos and pictures to go along with it. My project helped achieve my learning goal because I obtained information by doing research and finding statistics as well as conducting interviews in my community. The core values fit into my project because I will used inquiry when I asked questions while conducting my interviews. Research fits into my project because I researched facts and statistics on gentrification in my community and why it is happening. Collaboration fits into my project because other people be helped me create my project by being in my videos. Reflection fits into my project because I assessed my learning and findings and related it back to my learning goals. Presentation fits into my project because I will have to showcase my documentary.
