The Process

Setting a Goal - This phase of the process asks the student to consider their interests, decide on a topic, develop criteria, and submit a proposal of what they hope to accomplish. Click the "Setting a Goal" link to see more information on this integral step of the Personal Project Process.

Choosing a Global Context - The MYP Guide says that global contexts “direct our learning toward independent and shared inquiry into our common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet.” You must choose ONE global context that is relevant to your topic. Click the "Choosing a Global Context" link for further information.

The Process Journal - The process journal is an integral part of the Personal Project process. You will upload at least 12 entries (including proof of process and product) into Managebac by the end of the process. You will answer the questions given to you on the report template in each entry. You will also upload photos, screenshots, videos or other audiovisual proof of the process you went through and the end product you created.

Reporting the Project - According to the guide, your report should “summarize the experiences and skills recorded in the process journal. Click on link for a template.
