PERSONAL PROJECT PLANNING
PERSONAL PROJECT PLANNING
You need to plan the steps towards completing your Personal Project. You should write an outline of your main ideas, guided by a statement of your goal, as discussed with your supervisor. The purpose of the outline is to:
Define the investigation
Help in the choice of appropriate sources and material.
Ask yourself the following questions:
Where do I find the necessary materials?
Who has information about my topic?
Do I need to prepare, circulate and analyze a questionnaire or survey?
Do I need to go to libraries other than the school library?
Where do I need to visit?
Do I need to interview individuals?
You should write down these questions, and others, along with the answers, as a way of reminding yourself of the variety of potential sources. It is only by looking at a variety of sources that you can make a judgment about their relative usefulness.
After checking with your supervisor that you have investigated all the options, you should make a list of tasks so that you can collect the necessary material. You will need to consider the order of the tasks.
Once your list of sources is complete, you may start gathering the material.
What is your Project about? Why did you decide to do this Project? Where did your background information come from?
Explain how you are going to achieve your goal.
Write down your project criteria (how you will tell that your project has succeeded?)
Managing time is one of the most crucial elements of the project. It is essential that you create a timeline of what you plan to do. This comes in the form of an action plan.
You need to create an Action Plan which shows how you have organised your time. It needs to be embedded in your report.
