Writing the Report
Writing the Report
A report is a spoken or written account of something observed, heard, done or investigated. A report aims to inform as clearly and succinctly as possible. The MYP personal project report demonstrates a student’s engagement with his or her personal project by summarizing the experiences and skills recorded throughout the process.
The report should be presented in identifiable sections following the MYP personal project objectives—planning, applying skills, and reflecting, as shown in table below. The report must include evidence for all the strands of all criteria.

Please note that examples of supporting evidence are offered as suggestions and should not be understood as prescriptive or exhaustive. Students are encouraged to gather a variety of evidence throughout the development of their project so that they can select the evidence that best supports the claims that they make in the report.
Format
Format
The format of the report for the personal project can vary depending on the resources available and the interests of the students. Students should take into consideration learning preferences, personal strengths and available resources when deciding on the best format for the report. The ability to communicate clearly and concisely is essential to demonstrate the elements of the report and reach the highest levels of the criteria. The student’s supervisor is responsible for providing guidance on the format of the report. Students may submit their report and evidence in any combination of documents and recordings that fits within the limits outlined in the table below. These documents explain the maximum length of students’ submissions and the related specific clarifications.

Report Checklist Personal Project 2021+ Guide.docxStudents should be able to achieve the goal, including the learning goal and the product, and prepare the report in 25 hours. Planning, drafting, rehearsing and preparing materials are all necessary steps, and students should be aware of the amount of time required to complete the report. Students should be careful to ensure that their report is a distinct component of the MYP personal project and is not simply a collection of evidence.
If a personal project involves group work, each individual student must create his or her own report, clearly demonstrating his or her contribution in all stages of the personal project. Further, each student must collect his or her own evidence of the process.
When submitting the report for assessment, students must also include the completed academic integrity form. This is not included in the page limit.
