REFLECTION

Your project is wrapping up and it is time to reflect on all of the amazing work that you have done!

What have you learned?

Preparing for your exit interview

HELP! I didn't do my project!!

If you did not have success in getting your project off the group - completing an awareness campaign is something you can do completely on your own, your own time, and from anywhere you have a computer.

MYP Showcase 5/24

Your group will have the opportunity to showcase your research and hard work in a community fair. Ms. Osborne (in 105) has presentation trifold boards.

MARCH MIDWAY CHECKPOINT!!!

Need a check list to help walk you through the project?  Some people are most successful when they methodically check off parts as they go. If this is you, give this link a try to keep track of your progress in addition to your journal! 

MARCH: HELP! I still don't know what to do for my project...

Click HELP to go to a graphic organizer to help walk you through the foundational steps of getting your project up and moving! Only about 6 more weeks left - so this is crunch time!!

March: Check-in questions for reflection on the process and next steps

March means your project should be in full swing! This meeting will serve as a check-in point for you to talk about everything you've done so far, and plans for where it is going. BRING YOUR PROCESS JOURNAL TO YOUR MEETING 3/8 WITH YOUR SPONSOR. 

If you believe that you are already in a great place with your project and want to move ahead, look to the Reflection process on the ATL skills you have been applying throughout the project. This will help you put names to the learning you have been doing throuhgout this process. 

This is the focus of the APRIL meeting - but if you are ready to move on, don't hold back!!
