This overview describes the components of a complete personal project that is ready to be submitted to the student’s supervisor for assessment or to the IB for moderation.

You will need this form from the beginning of your project since you must complete three sections during meetings with your supervisor. You may want to use a rough draft, which you can transfer to the final copy at the end of your project.

(A fillable PDF form is available in the MYP section of the programme resource centre.)

Your report can be in written, electronic, oral, visual or combination of formats. The report is distinct from your process journal and product/outcome. In the report, you discuss the process you carried out and what you learned from completing the personal project. Your report should be structured in identifiable sections, following the MYP projects objectives.

Process journal extracts / supporting visual aids for oral presentations

These are short sections from your process journal that exemplify the knowledge, processes and skills you developed through the project. If your report is an oral presentation, you may include the visual aids you used, but they will count towards the 10 A4 pages or (annotated) screenshots you can submit in the appendices.

You must include a bibliography that follows a recognized convention appropriate for the task. You may use in-text citations, footnotes/endnotes or other recognized systems to credit the ideas of others in your work.

You need to include evidence of the product/outcome. If possible, your supervisor should be able to review the product/outcome in its entirety. For IB moderation, you need to identify (and include as an appendix in your project report) an extract from your product/outcome that does not exceed these limits: 5 still images presented in a single PDF, 30 seconds of audio/video, or 1 A4 page of text.
