So far, 5PA has analyzed a variety of texts that reveal important ideas about systems, change, and individuals. Students explored components of a system and how individuals interact within it. We also discovered that through the use of observation, we have the ability to determine potential change within a system based on needs, resources, and circumstances. Students also realized that individuals have the power to influence a system and foster change through the use of their own passions.
Our Capstone project gives 5PA students the opportunity to envision positive change in a global system. Students have spent the year exploring their own passions and talents to develop an action plan to implement the change. Students have realized that it may take courage to initiate the change, and they have been faced with choices, challenges, and consider possible consequences of their changes. Ultimately, students are able to develop the understanding that implementation of change promotes growth.
In preparation for our Capstone Presentations, students have examined the structure of our presentations by viewing sample talks and discussing the successful components. Students considered which components could be applied in their own presentations. The format we will be using for our presentations is a TED Talk.
