Project Pages Guidelines

You should update your webpage as you work through your projects. It will be easier to update it frequently as you progress. It will also be easier to find the motivation a little at a time, instead of after you finish the project and are looking forward to the next one.

On your webpage, you should have a page for each of your projects. On that page, you should include the following elements. Make sure you write in paragraphs composed of sentences. Those sentences should be grammatically correct and composed of correctly-spelled words.

Project Description

Write a paragraph explaining the idea for your project. In the description, make sure you address the three key components for a project (what you learn, what you create, what audience), as well as an overview of the project. This paragraph should be exciting and talk about your project with the same enthusiasm you felt when you developed the idea.

Project Plan

For each of your projects, you developed a project plan. Embed it in your webpage so it is easy to find. Make sure each area is complete and thought out.

Progress Reporting

As you progress through your project, make notes on your page. You could take pictures of what you are making, comment with your feelings about completing a section, list questions you still need to answer, or write about frustrations you are facing. The "how" of progress reporting is up to you and the nature of your project. The "why" is the same for everyone, to remember specific moments along the way.

Final Project

When you finish, you should preserve your project on your webpage. Written documents, pictures, embedded TinkerCAD images, a video of you showing what you've done, an iMovie with a voice over - take the time to present your project in a way that makes it interesting and presents it in the best light. You worked hard on your project, give it a good home.

Reflection

Take time to reflect on your journey (sorry, not sorry) through your project. You should write your reflection as paragraphs made up of sentences with good grammar and stuff, but make sure you answer these questions:

What did you learn as you worked through the project? This could mean the actual content of the project that you researched or lessons on organization, planning, etc.
What parts of the experience did you enjoy? What parts were a struggle to complete?
In what way did you grow from this project? How will that growth help you going forward - in school or otherwise?
Compared to your initial idea, how much did your final outcome differ? Why did (or didn't) it change?
If a classmate told you they are thinking about doing a very similar project, what advice would you give them to improve their experience?
