What is your learning goal based on your personal interest?
How does your personal interest(s) relate to your learning goal?
What a good example looks like:
When I was thinking about topics for my Personal Project I felt lucky that I knew immediately what I wanted to do. I have been drawing ever since I was a toddler and through outside art classes and MYP Visual arts I have continued to develop my ability. I spend lots of time doodling and drawing things, and it is something I am really passionate about. In the picture, you can see an example of my drawing. In MYP 4 we did a unit in Visual Arts that involved stop motion animation, and I enjoyed seeing my drawings move and come to life. At the same time, I have always been interested in animated films and fascinated by the process behind them. The development of animation over the past 30 years has been incredible and I grew up watching Pixar films, and seeing ‘real’ life characters in the animations. I have never tried to animate any of my drawings, but I would love to see my own characters come to life. I wanted to find out if my doodling habit could be something more. For these reasons, I knew that the Personal Project would be an ideal opportunity to learn more about the process, therefore I decided that my learning goal would be to learn how to turn my drawings into animation.
Strand ii - State an intended product and develop appropriate success criteria for the product.
What you need to do:
Identify the product of your project
Identify the success criteria for your product
Include a table that provides a detailed explanation of your success criteria
the success criteria for the product are appropriate, and detailed;
there should be between five (5) and seven (7) criteria
Guiding Questions:
What product did you decide to create?
What kind of specifications/ success criteria would you give for your product?
What a good example looks like:
Strand iii - Present a clear, detailed plan for achieving the product and its associated success criteria.
What you need to do:
Create and explain a clear, detailed plan for achieving the product.
Identify how your planning relates to your product and all its associated success criteria.
Guiding Questions:
How do you make a clear, detailed plan for achieving the product?
How does your planning relate to your product and all its associated success criteria?
In your planning, have you included when and how you will assess the success of your product (for example, conducting a survey to assess the quality of your product)?
What a good example looks like:
I created two separate timelines for the project, one being a general timeline for the entire project and all its due dates, and the second being a product-specific one. The general timeline is more of a weekly/monthly planner that will just give me a general understanding of what I am supposed to be working on, while the product-specific timeline was created to plan out each step of my creation process up until January 26th. I set up task lists or ‘to do’ lists for each deadline to ensure that I could complete everything I planned by the due date. While creating my plan, I was careful to consider my product criteria, to ensure that I focused on the specific requirements I had set myself. I found it easier to do this by adding a column to my plan which reminded me which criteria was being addressed.
