🏗️ Capstone Project — Part 2
Build the core of your project.
🎯 Today's goal: Your child builds the main body — the hardest and most substantial part of the capstone.
🔥 Warm Up — 3 minutes
Warm Up
"Part 1 gave you a strong foundation. Today you build the main structure."
"Part 2 rule: quality over quantity. One section done brilliantly beats three done adequately."
🤖 The Activity — 20 minutes
Main Activity
📋 Type this exactly
I completed the opening section last session: [paste or describe it]. Now I need the main body. Help me: plan the next 2-3 sections, identify what each covers, and make sure they flow from the opening.
Same process: research, draft, critique, revise. After each section, read the whole project so far — does it flow?
📋 Type this exactly
Read what I have so far: [paste everything]. As an editor — does this flow? Where does a reader lose momentum? What transition is weakest?
🧩 The Twist — 5 minutes
Deep Dive
📋 Type this exactly
What is the one thing that would make someone who disagrees with my main point change their mind? Include that counterargument — and then respond to it.
Adding the strongest counterargument makes the project more honest and more persuasive.
🛡️ Safety Moment
“AI is a tool, not a friend”
Deep in a project, AI can start to feel like a collaborator. It is your tool. Every structural decision, every creative choice, every verified fact — those are yours.
👨👩👧 Parent: read this aloud. Ask your child to repeat it back.

Sustained creative and analytical work across sessions.
Questions to ask
What is the strongest section so far?
What was the hardest decision?
Is there a counterargument you decided not to include? Why?
What to watch for
If the project is going well — do not intervene. Let your child lead.
Safety in context
Two sessions in, the capstone should be visibly more sophisticated than anything from earlier sessions.
