What is your inquiry question that interests you for further research? It should be a question that
connects with a purpose, passion or personalized area of interest for you. This is a question that
you cannot just google an answer for. Please see examples from your Capstone booklet.
My inquiry question is:

How can I effectively create a short comic strip to teach others through social media?

Rationale/context: Detail your reasons for choosing this inquiry question. Explain WHY you are
choosing to investigate this topic as a major area of focus. How does this area of inquiry connect
to your passion(s), purpose? Why is it of personal interest to you?

I choose this topic to investigate because I always had passion for drawing since young and
wanted to create my own comic strip. I always loved to read comics from all around the world,
Korean, China, and Japan. I also saw some short comic strips on Instagram sharing their
stories and information. I really wanted to share information and facts about different topics
that I find fascinating. I also like spreading information that I like to people so people are more
educated on a topics through social media platform.

Background: What background knowledge/connections/prior learning do you have in this

area of inquiry?

Some background knowledge I have is creating short stories. In middle and high school I have
created some short stories for class assignments and for peer mentoring. I also have some
experience in drawing small and cute characters and animals.

Career connections: What is your intended career area at this point in time? What
connections does this inquiry question have to your life, academic and/ or career goals?

My inquiry question isn’t connected to my future career, however I always wanted to draw and
show it to someone. I thought capstone would be the great opportunity to do what i have
always wanted to do.
