Reflect upon my own skills, talents and interests and make connections to global issues or opportunities
Gain a deeper understanding of how issues can connect to sustainable development goals
Learning Engagements
Welcome to the PYPx! Students received their digital process journal this week, and spent some time getting to know the types of documents we will be using to show our thinking throughout the PYPx process. Students will be adding to this each week that they work through the Exhibition. They will share this document with their mentor, and use it as a place to document all their thinking and research throughout the Exhibition.
Assessment tool
Students will use this tool for their individualised assessment throughout the PYP Exhibition. They will choose goals that are specific to their needs for independent work. This week, students were required to choose a goal connected to their self-management skills, as this is the ATL that will need the most attention for the beginning of the process. Students will assess themselves on their goal after week 3, then set new goals.
Exploration of Issues
As students are still in the tuning-in phase of our inquiry cycle, here are some different resources that students can take a look at. Many students begin the exhibition with a tight hold on where they want to put all of their focus, only to find out that there are so many other passions they didn’t know they had (because they had never explored them). Students used these articles/websites/videos to find inspiration for their inquiry.
A grade 12 student named Shiori came to talk to the grade 5 students about her MYP Personal Project. She spoke about the process of making and keeping a process journal.
