- What is your Inquiry Question? Has the focus of your inquiry shifted or changed since you wrote your Personal Learning Plan? Explain.
My inquiry question is “What makes a good song good?”. My focus of my inquiry has pretty much changed the same, except I collaborated with a friend to make a song so both of our knowledge can be combined. By doing this, i have 2 perspectives of a good song rather than just one. I have been focusing more on creating my own song based on the knowledge i gathered every CENT time.
- How is your time management? Are you using CENT time weekly to work on your Inquiry, or are you finding other time during the week?
I think I could have used my time more efficiently if I had the equipment available to me for example a guitar would be helpful. I usually spend my time watching helpful tips and videos that are related to my inquiry question, and sometimes take notes while watching.
- What resources (people, websites, apps, videos, etc.) have been most helpful?
Youtube has been the most helpful. It’s where I find all the videos I have been watching.
- What challenges are you currently facing with your Inquiry? What challenges have you overcome?
A challenge I am currently facing is my creative block. I just finished Music Composition 11, and the final assignment was to create our own song. I feel that I used most of my creativeness for that assignment, and I am struggling to find things that inspire me. I also find that it is sometimes hard to stay motivated, but most days I overcome it.
- Describe your growth of a Core Competency through this inquiry process.
Throughout the inquiry process, i have grown in the Collaboration Core Competency as I communicate with my partner of ideas for our song and small rhythms or lyrics that build as a whole.
- How will you share what you have been learning, creating or planning in this Inquiry? Are you on track to share your learning by the end of May or early June?
I am planning to create a full complete song by early June with my partner.
- Will you continue working on this Inquiry, or parts of it, for your Capstone next year?
I do not think I will continue on working on this Inquiry for my Capstone next year.
