Have yu ever wanted t build a better musetrap? Have yu ever wanted t build a musical instrument? D yu have questins abut a tpic that yu have wanted t research n yur wn? D yu have a secret passin t write a play? Nw is yur chance! The Persnal Prject is yur prject t d what yu want t d, t shw the skills yu have develped ver the years in yur subjects fcusing n a particular lens, and applying them t a gal. The Persnal Prject is an individual prject cmpleted in yur 10 th grade year. It cnsists f three main cmpnents: a prject, a prcess jurnal, and a reprt. Yu have the pprtunity t chse yur tpic and enjy learning abut it as yu research and develp yur chsen prduct. Thrugh this prject, students: Demnstrate the persnal abilities and skills required t prduce and present an extended piece f wrk Engage in persnal inquiry, actin and reflectin n specific tpics and issues Fcus n, and demnstrate an understanding f, glbal cntexts Reflect n learning and share knwledge, views, and pinins with the brader cmmunity What it is, what it is nt It shuld have a clear and achievable gal, be fcused thrugh ne glbal cntext, be persnal & riginal, entirely yur wn wrk, and mst imprtantly be smething that interests YOU! It shuld nt be part f any assessed schl curse wrk, be linked t clsely with any specific subject, r take ver yur whle persnal and scial life. 3
What are sme examples f what I can d? a fitness prgram riginal piece f writing/art/music/drama an inventin, r specially designed bject r system a survey and reprt n a pressing schl issue explring family histries r persnal stries riginal science experiment the presentatin f a develped business, management, r rganizatinal plan create a sprt r game research an idea (i.e. hw clrs affect ur mds) The final prduct can be written, a creatin, presentatin, prduct, prject, r any ther culminatin f yur effrt and wrk. It must be well recrded in yur prcess jurnal as it develps. The prcess is just as imprtant as the final prduct! Yur final prduct may invlve thers, but remember that yur wn cntributin must be central t the event, and clearly visible. Use yur prcess jurnal and reprt t shw what yu specifically cntributed t the prduct s success. What are sme examples frm Shaker? Creating a YuTube series Develping a fundraiser Building a cmputer Creating a vide game Prducing fashin pht-sht Writing a news/jurnal article Taking up a new instrument Penning a shrt stry Cmpsing sngs fr an album Learning statistics Perfrming in a play Teaching at sccer camp Caching Science Olympiad Cmmentating n vide games Shadwing a dctr Learning hw t weld Making a ukulele Establishing a salsa cmpany 4
Wh will help me? Yu are nt alne n this jurney. Yu will have a supprt team f Shaker staff and ptentially cmmunity members that will prvide sme guidance and supprt alng the way. This supprt team at least cnsists f yur advisry teacher, wh will intrduce the prject and g ver the nuts n blts f hw it will prgress, as well as a persnal supervisr wh will meet with yu thrughut the year t prvide specific feedback and guidance abut yur individual prject. If yu wuld like the additinal supprt f a mentr frm the surrunding cmmunity (r nline), that is apprpriate; they may prvide unique supprt fr yur tpic in an exciting way! Supervisr Advisr 1.

What will the final Persnal Prject lk like? It must include three elements: the prject itself, the reprt (minimum 1,500 wrds) and the prcess jurnal 1. The Outcme The actual utcme frm the prject itself will be submitted. It may take a variety f physical frms, such as a tangible prduct r design. If it is an activity r an event, it shuld be recrded and available fr review with yur supervisr. This is what yu ve been wrking s hard t bring abut! 2. The Reprt Besides the actual utcme f yur gal, the reprt is the mst imprtant part f the Persnal Prject prcess. The reprt is yur detailed analysis f yur entire prject and the prcess f develpment. It explains hw, why, and what yu did, in a well-structured and rganized manner. The reprt shuld be cmpleted with the fllwing sectins: 1. Investigating 2. Planning 3. Taking Actin 4. Reflecting Yur reprt may be recrded rally r visually (13-15 minutes) r written (1,500-3,500 wrds). Mre infrmatin is prvided in the Appendix. 3. Prcess Jurnal Yu are required t maintain a prcess jurnal f yur Persnal Prject. Yur prcess jurnal shuld have all yur rugh ideas (even if yur ideas change ver the duratin f the prject), rugh drawings, ideas, etc. It is a practical wrkbk. Recrd yur prgress in the jurnal, and use yur ntes/drawings t reflect n yur ideas, achievements, bstacles, etc. Suggested Frmat Here are sme headings yu culd use t help prvide a structure t yur jurnal, ensuring yu make the best use f the jurnaling prcess. Wrk Cmpleted this Week this sectin shuld detail all aspects f wrk cmpleted n the Persnal Prject in the week Resurces: recrd bibligraphical details in this sectin. Yu shuld als recrd details f any cnversatins that tk place with surces relating t the prject Challenges/Difficulties Faced: detail bstacles and indicate hw yu did r intend t deal with them Evaluatin f Prgress: this is where yu shuld refer t yur initial gals and indicate whether r nt yu are achieving them. Yu may als identify any areas that need imprvement at this stage 6
Prject Objectives The bjectives f the persnal prject state the specific targets that are set fr learning. They define what the student will accmplish as a result f cmpleting the persnal prject. These bjectives relate directly t the assessment criteria fund in the persnal prject assessment criteria sectin. Yur reprt shuld illustrate hw yu have accmplished all f the fllwing learned bjectives (criteria). Criterin A: Investigating i. Define a clear gal and glbal cntext fr the prject, based n persnal interests Identify prir learning and subject-specific knwledge relevant t the prject Demnstrate research skills Criterin B: Planning i. develp criteria fr the prduct/utcme plan and recrd the develpment prcess f the prject demnstrate self-management skills. Criterin C: Taking Actin i. create a prduct/utcme in respnse t the gal, glbal cntext and criteria demnstrate thinking skills demnstrate cmmunicatin and scial skills. Criterin D: Reflecting i. evaluate the quality f the prduct/utcme against their criteria reflect n hw cmpleting the prject has extended their knwledge and understanding f the tpic and the glbal cntext reflect n their develpment as IB learners thrugh the prject. 7

9 Develping yur prject thrugh Glbal Cntexts With the assistance f yur advisry teacher and supervisr yu will select a tpic that yu are passinate abut, turn it int a gal, and then fcus it thrugh ne f the MYP lenses t cmplete yur prject. One tpic can be explred thrugh many cntexts, r lenses. The lens yu select will determine the directin f yur prject. Review each f the lenses belw, and lk t the next page t see hw each lens can put a different spin n the same tpic. The Glbal Cntext (Lenses) In the Middle Years Prgramme there are several lenses thrugh which we view ur learning called Glbal Cntext. Belw each f the lenses are sme guiding questins t clarify what each lens means. Identities and Relatinships Students will explre identity; beliefs and values; persnal, physical, mental, scial and spiritual health; human relatinships including families, friends, cmmunities and cultures; what it means t be human. Examples f prjects influenced by this glbal cntext: Tw sides f scial netwrking; an awareness campaign abut digital citizenship and cyber bullying Hw nline identities impact ffline relatinships; a research essay Keeping culinary traditins; a vide series fllwing family recipes with histrical relevance The effect f mass media n teenage identity; a shrt film Orientatin in Space and Time Students will explre persnal histries; hmes and jurneys; turning pints in humankind; discveries; explratins and migratins f humankind; the relatinships between and the intercnnectedness f individuals and civilizatins frm persnal, lcal and glbal perspectives.

Examples f prjects influenced by this glbal cntext: Vide games as a frm f cultural expressin; a shrt film using five vide games that shws hw they are an expressin f ur culture The art f Manga in Japanese culture; a Japanese anime and a survey f the understanding f my peers Culture and self-expressin thrugh dance at the lcal cmmunity arts centre; a perfrmance
Scientific and Technical Innvatin Students will explre the natural wrld and its laws; the interactin between peple and the natural wrld; hw humans use their understanding f scientific principles; the impact f scientific and technlgical advances n cmmunities and envirnments; the impact f envirnments n human activity; hw humans adapt envirnments t their needs. Examples f prjects influenced by this glbal cntext: Nan fibres build strnger bikes; a prttype bike with nan fibres What s the matter with the anti-matter?; an infrmatinal talk Why are genetics and genmics imprtant t my health?; a media presentatin Can stem cells replace rgan transplants?; an investigative reprt Glbalizatin and Sustainability Students will explre the intercnnectedness f human-made systems and cmmunities; the relatinship between lcal and glbal prcesses; hw lcal experiences mediate the glbal; the pprtunities and tensins prvided by wrld-intercnnectedness; the impact f decisinmaking n humankind and the envirnment.

Example: Hw can my Glbal Cntext shape my prject? T see hw the glbal cntext yu select may affect the prduct f yur passin and gal, cnsider a tpic f maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The glbal cntext chsen adds depth t the prduct f passin, helping t fcus it int smething that is achievable and significant t the self and thers. Why are sme cuntries s much healthier than America? I will d a research prject and presentatin n healthy habits frm cultures arund the Wrld, advcating fr America t adpt sme f them. I knw that eating t much meat is bad fr yu, but it s bad fr the envirnment t. I will create a 10 minute vide explaining hw a diet fcused n animals is nt sustainable fr Earth. Persnal & Cultural Expressin Glbalizatin & Sustainability Passin: Healthy eating, habits, and lifestyle Identities & Relatinships With a fcus n the physical health aspect f identities, I will create a vegetarian ckbk that prvides educatinal infrmatin and easy recipes suitable fr all ages. See hw the Glbal Cntext can help t shape and add depth t yur prject? Play arund with a few befre cmmitting t ne, enhancing yur brainstrming sessins. Which directin resnates best with yur passin and gals? 11
Creating Criteria fr Success After yu have selected yur tpic, researched it, and chsen a glbal cntext, yu will then need t create criteria fr success. What these criteria represent are the targets that yu have given yurself t cmplete the prject t an excellent degree. Fr example: if yu are hsting an event, what wuld a strng criteria fr success be? 20 peple in attendance? 100? While yur criteria shuld challenge yu t push yurself, make them realistic and achievable. Yur criteria may take the frm f a checklist r rubric inside f yur prcess jurnal, but regardless f its frm and lcatin, the criteria must be pre-determined and strve fr. What is it that yu want t achieve, and hw are yu ging t knw yu ve dne it well? That is the essence f the criteria. Rle f the Supervisr A supervisr will advise yu thrughut the prject, meet yu n a regular basis and make sure yu cmplete the varius stages f the prject accrding t the deadlines. Yur supervisr need nt necessarily be an expert in what yu want t d, but will be able t guide and help yu as needed. The supervisr will als sign the timetable as yu cmplete the steps f the prject. Yu may decide with yur schl supervisr t have anther persn frm utside f the schl wh can give yu mre expert help and wh will act as yur mentr. Eventually, yur supervisr will evaluate yur prject based n the Persnal Prject criteria & rubrics. Wrk clsely with yur supervisr s that yu meet all the expectatins f the prject. Supervisr Meetings Bth the supervisr and student need t acknwledge the imprtance f regular cntact and will cmmit t ne anther t meet upn the designated days n the schl calendar. If a student shuld miss a persnal prject meeting, they must cntact their supervisr t setup anther. Each student must meet with their supervisr a minimum f 4 times thrughut the year. A supervisr will initial the Supervisr Meeting Frm (see Appendix) t prvide evidence that regular meetings have ccurred. The supervisr meeting frm als cntains a list f dicussin pints fr each meeting. The discussin pints, ideas, next-steps, etc. shuld be recrded in the prcess jurnal. 12
Persnal Prject Exhibitin Yur wrk will be celebrated in a Persnal Prject Exhibitin night in which the cmmunity is invited t cme and discuss yur prject with yu. All 10 th graders will be assembled in the Nrth Gym with their prducts (when pssible), prcess jurnal, reprt, and any visual aids that a student wuld like t share with the cmmunity. All students will share their prjects at nce while parents, teachers and cmmunity members ram the gym and mingle with students, inquiring abut their prcess and prduct. This night gives students an pprtunity t nt nly share what they did in their prject, but als build imprtant cmmunicatin skills by interacting with the diverse crwd. Staying Up-t-Date: Remind T be reminded f due dates, supervisry meetings, advisry meetings and any ther updates, please sign up t receive text and/r email cmmunicatin thrugh Remind.

G: Frequently Asked Questins Q: Can I wrk in a team? A: Yes, grups are acceptable, but yu must have a significantly independent prtin f the prject. Each member f the team must still maintain a prcess jurnal and submit a reprt, but the prduct f the team may be shared if it is significant enugh t warrant the effrts f multiple peple. Q: Can my Natinal Histry Day (NHD) prject cunt as my Persnal Prject? A: Yes yur NHD prject can cunt as the OUTCOME f yur Persnal Prject, but yu are still respnsible fr submitting the reprt, prcess jurnal and participating in cmmunity night. Q: Hw are supervisrs assigned? A: Supervisrs and students are randmly assigned at the beginning f each year. If yu want a specific persn in the schl t be yur supervisr, we can make that happen (see belw). Q: Can I switch supervisrs? A: Yu shuld first apprach the supervisr yu wuld like in rder t determine their interest in supervising anther student; keep in mind, all teachers will have 2-3 students each year. If they are pen t taking n anther student, cntact Mr. Mre (mre_j@shaker.rg) s that he can change the fficial listing f supervisrs and students. He will let yur assigned supervisr knw that yu have a new supervisr. Q: I didn t get a chance t meet with my supervisr; hw d I cntact them?
