(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers? What is your best answer and why?
My essential question is "How can an amatuer skater best transition to being a professional skateboarder?" My three answers are Video footage, Fashion , Contest. I believe my best answer if video footage because it is the most engaging answer and I see how I can use it to catch my audiences attention during the presentation.
(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
Going through interviews and weeks and weeks of research checks.
(3) What problems did you face? How did you resolve them?
Problems i faced were when my mentor got to busy to handle the hours so I had to get a new one. I looked at many skateparks for sponsored skaters to help me with my project.
(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?
Be prepared with evidence and specific examples to support any response. It is also significant to cite sources as you explain.
A source that was very valuable to my research was "How Nike swooshed into Skateboarding", and article I found online.
Another source that was very helpful was Tampa Ann's web page with information on how their contest is ran
