The aim of this strand is to demonstrate how your personal interest has led to the learning goal you have chosen.
Your first heading should be titled "My Learning Goal,". In this section, you need to clearly state your learning goal in the text. For example, “I want to learn how to…” However this statement does not need to be placed at the very beginning of your report.
In addition to clearly stating your learning goal, you must explain in detail what you hope to learn through your personal project.
Title your section "My Learning Goal."
Clearly state your learning goal in the text.
Example: “I want to learn how to bake and decorate a professional-quality themed character cake.”
Explain in detail what you hope to learn through your personal project.
Example: “Through my project, I hope to learn the techniques involved in cake artistry, such as working with fondant, creating stable cake structures, and using advanced decoration methods. I also want to understand how to combine flavors and textures to create a delicious and visually appealing cake.”
Explain how your learning goal stems from a personal interest.
Next, explain how your learning goal stems from a personal interest. Show the connection between your personal interest and your learning goal, detailing both how and why your interest led to this goal.
Provide a thorough explanation of this connection, using explicit reasons or causes related to your personal interest. This could also tie into a Global Context, a Unit of Inquiry, or Service as Action.
Finally, give detailed evidence and examples to support how your personal interest led to your chosen learning goal.
Example: “I have always loved baking as a hobby, and I often experiment with making desserts for family and friends. Watching professional cake decorating shows on TV has inspired me to challenge myself to improve my skills and create something unique.”
Show the connection between your personal interest and your learning goal, detailing both how and why your interest led to this goal.
Example: “My interest in baking has grown over the years because it combines creativity and precision, two qualities I enjoy. This interest led me to choose this goal because I want to push my limits and see if I can create a cake that is both artistic and professional in quality.”
Provide a thorough explanation of this connection, using explicit reasons or causes related to your personal interest.
Example: “Baking has always been a way for me to express my creativity and bring joy to others. After receiving positive feedback from friends and family about my cakes, I decided to explore the more artistic side of baking. This aligns with my desire to improve my creative skills and challenge myself with new techniques.”
Give detailed evidence and examples to support how your personal interest led to your chosen learning goal.
Example: “I have been baking regularly for the past three years, making birthday cakes for my siblings and friends. For instance, I once made a simple tiered cake with buttercream decorations, and while it turned out well, I realized I wanted to learn more complex techniques, like sculpting and painting on cakes. This experience inspired me to set my learning goal for this project.”
No-No's
Do not create a learning goal that is simply to learn how to create your product. eg Your product is to create a video/website and your learning goal is to learn how to create a video/website. This Learning goal is restrictive and it needs to focus on your learning.
