In the personal project, students should be able to:
explain the impact of the project on themselves or their learning
evaluate the product based on the success criteria
RED = Important for the criteria.
1. EXPLAIN THE IMPACT OF THE PROJECT ON THEMSELVES OR THEIR LEARNING
To get an 8, you must refer back to all the challenges and positives that you went through during this process of the personal project. This is something you have to write last, after your product is done and process journal is technically finished too.
ASK YOURSELF: How did you change? How did it affect your perspective on your learning goal and how has it changed? What did you think about it before, and how do you think about it now?
2. EVALUATE THE PRODUCT BASED ON THE SUCCESS CRITERIA
To get an 8, EVIDENCE EVIDENCE EVIDENCE EVIDENCE EXAMPLES EXAMPLES EXAMPLES EXAMPLES
You started off your report with a success criteria. Remember CRITERIA A? You refer back to the success criteria you made, and HONESTLY reflect on which ones you think you did well on and what you could've done better.
If you didn't hit every single expectation you had, this is ABSOLUTELY OKAY! It's actually good, because then you get to explain why, adding depth to your experience and how this affected you and your product.
EXAMPLE: This student had their final success criteria as creating a cardigan that is functional. However, they didn't meet this criteria at all, they decided to make a scarf instead, even though they met the rest of their criterias (E.G prioritising comfort, true to size, etc). They have to explain why they changed it or why they didn't met this criteria.
"I decided not to knit a cardigan because the material I bought was not comfortable enough. But I thought that the material was enough and the quality is very good to make a scarf, so I change my goal from knitting cardigan to knitting a scarf of similar quality and size (check on ... entry)."
