Criterion B: Proposal for Action Planning Template Your Proposal for Action should include designing, problem-solving, decision-making or investigative activities. Proposals should be achievable based on the time and resources available. Do not come up with a proposal that takes too much time, is difficult to follow through, or costs too much money to implement. On the other hand, do not choose projects that are too simple. Use your Proposal for Action to guide your work in this Criterion B: Planning template. This Criterion B: Planning template is crucial in the planning process as it will help you stay on track with working toward the expected goal.
Global Contexts Global contexts direct learning towards independent and shared inquiry into our common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet. Using the world as the broadest context for learning, MYP Community Projects develop meaningful explorations of any of the six global contexts defined in the table on the next page. The table also provides examples of CPs that can be completed. The selected global context will inform the questions that you will ask as you develop your CP, and it will help you explain why your project matters. Review pages 15-16 to determine Global Context. Record your global context at the bottom of page 16 Session 3

Objective C: Taking Action STEP 3: SERVICE AS ACTION Once you have determined the need, your goal, and have planned what you are going to do, it is time to put your proposal into action! You may have to change your original plans in the light of circumstances or new information. Consult your coach regularly. In the Community Project, action involves a participation of service as learning. As you become more engaged in your CP, you will want to select one or more types of action: • Useful Ideas as You Work • Take pictures of yourself working on the project. These are useful in showing proof of working on the project as well as for your presentation. • Document group communication practices. • Use drawings and pictures only when necessary, for example, if they add to the clarity of the project. • Continue recording and reflecting on what you do during this phase in your process journal.
