Developing My Capstone Project

After receiving feedback from Tim and Cyndi, I am starting to see some development. This piece that I have been working on is starting to look less like a boulder and more like a sculpture.

Cyndi showed me a new view on my project: sliced into three definite parts.
1. My Writing
I will me assembling a book of my own poetry, each piece accompanied by a short piece of prose that explains my thoughts/experiences/purpose in writing/selecting.
2. Create Workshop
I want to develop a kind a of writing workshop for young adults that would actually inspire youth to express themselves honestly, openly, passionately and in their own voice, and hope to use my poetry collection as part of the workshop format.
3. Use The Safe Space, My Work Shop
I want to actually conduct these workshops in the area.

The next few months will be a mix of working on this project, taking summer classes, many medical appointments (more stress than pain, I promise), and finishing The Harry Potter Series (on book four!). However, after the feedback I have received, I feel it will be easier to think about, develop, and begin to conduct my capstone. I am going to go back to my freshman year curriculum and read through my Concepts of The Self text books and look up "teenage writers", "writing workshops", and "young adult writing" in the MIC’s book search database as well as using an article search via EBSCO. As well, I will be spending some time at UVM this summer in a writing course. I plan on using the course, my professor, and the UVM facilities to work on my project. I listed many resources from my high school, Burr and Burton Academy, on the final plan I turned in at the end of the recent Spring term. I plan to contact them this summer and see what they can do for me, or which direction they point me in. Some of these people are Bill Muench, Robert Hunter, and Sunny Wright, all of whom are part of the Burr and Burton Academy English Department.
The last development I would like to make in these next few months is discovering this place. Where will I invite these young adults to? Where will they feel safe? relaxed? inspired? respected? maybe even, cool?

I hope, and know, summer has been splendid for you all. Keep up the good work, keep reading, and, of course, keep smiling.
