Reflection

I liked part of research about sun protection. My Personal Project had a considerable impact on me. First of all, I made a huge progress towards learning about sun protection, effects of the Sun and sunscreens. At the beginning of the project, my knowledge on this topic was limited only by the types of sunscreens and the experience of using several sunscreens. Thanks to my project, I could make a huge progress in my knowledge about skin cancer, mechanism of action of sunscreens and their chemistry. Secondly, I had grown as a learner throughout the project. I faced some challenges that gave me opportunities to develop, grow and improve my skills. In my opinion, I made a huge effort, which developed my affective skills. I was managing my mental state, tried not to worry and believe in successful product. In addition to these skills, I also improved my communication skills and IB profile communicative. In order to achieve my learning goal and product, I communicated a lot with different people, starting from my supervisor and ending with experts. I worked out the skills of official writing, consulted with experienced people. In addition, I have learned to be organized and productive. Organizing a step-by-step plan to achieve a big goal was an effective solution in doing everything on time.

My product

Reflection:

My favorite process was the creation of the magazine, because using all the information that I received in 15 days, I had to convey them on to readers in a creative way. This project definitely had a positive impact on my learnings and on me, because during these 5 months I developed various skills, such as research, critical and creative thinking, time management, organization and source analysis. I understood that these atl skills were extremely helpful and contributed to the success of my product, because they helped me find relevant and important information about the topic and create an interesting, aesthetic magazine. Researching for about 15 days and searching for information 1-2 hours a day really contributed to my learning, because I gained a lot of knowledge about immunity and products. Therefore, at the end of the project, I concluded that no matter how difficult the work is, with the help of personal interest, all difficulties can be overcome.
