Action involves learning by doing….” From What is an IB Education? • How will you use what you are learning to have a positive impact in your home, school, community, etc.?

  5. What is the Personal Project? • Personal and creative work initiated and developed by the student. • Student-directed inquiry aimed at developing the skills necessary to be independent, lifelong learners • Differentiated learning opportunity that allows for expression according to students’ individual needs • Students: • Generate ideas • Plan steps for completion • Determine specifications to assess whether the goal has been achieved

Consists of three components: • The process journal • The messy thinking • Documentation of resources • The product/outcome • The reporting of the project • Addresses all of the objectives • Does not have to be written • If written, it is a 1500 to 3500 word report • If it is not written, it must be accompanied by a short explanation (150 words) • Structured in the same way as the objectives and criteria

  7. Picking the Topic Brainstorm • Something that you’ve always wanted to learn • Major issues facing your community • What are they and how can you address them? • I would like to construct, compose, improve… Don’t forget – this is YOUR project.
