Final Report
A report is a spoken or written account of something observed, heard, done or investigated. A report aims to inform as clearly and succinctly as possible. The MYP personal project report demonstrates a student’s engagement with his or her personal project by summarizing the experiences and skills recorded throughout the process.
The report should be presented in identifiable sections following the MYP personal project objectives—planning, applying skills, and reflecting. The report must include evidence for all the strands of all criteria.
