Introduction
So what is the personal project?
The personal project is exactly that-a personal project.
The personal project is your chance to practice and strengthen your approaches to learning skills, to develop an understanding of yourself, as a learner, and to develop an area of personal interest. In other words, you will choose a topic that interests you, you will choose a global context that will help you develop your project with a clear and specific focus, and once you have done some research, you will determine your goal.
You will complete and submit your personal project during the final year of the MYP, your sophomore year.
The personal project is similar to every other subject you study because you will:
complete approximately 40-50 hours of study over an extended period of approximately 6 months,
use many of the approaches to learning skills you have learned in your classes, create a product that will be turned in, and be assessed against a set of criteria.
The personal project is different from many of your other subjects because you will:
complete your investigation within the context of one global context, work independently on a topic you have selected, and interact with an assigned adult supervisor whose role is to provide guidance and
advice.
What is the point? To participate in a sustained, self-directed inquiry To generate creative new insights and develop deeper understandings through
in-depth investigation To demonstrate the skills, attitudes, and knowledge required to complete a
project over an extended period of time. To communicate effectively in a variety of situations To demonstrate responsible action through, or as a result of, learning. To appreciate the process of learning and take pride in your accomplishments.
What exactly do I have to create for the personal project?
3
You must create three items, each of which will be assessed:
a process journal (similar to the developmental workbook in arts), a project report, and a take action product or outcome.
Will anyone help me do the project?
Of course! You can’t think we would set you on this task without support. You are responsible for your project. It is an investigation that you do on your own outside of school, to show your skills as an independent learner.
However, you will have help. You will be assigned an adult supervisor at ISB, who will can do a number of things to help you in the process:
Advising you on your project choice (is it achievable and appropriately challenging?)
Helping you to create a schedule for completing the project Discussing the global context chosen to ensure it matches the goal of
your project Meeting to discuss and review your progress Advising you should any part of your project present difficulties.
Being an independent learner does not mean you work in isolation. In fact, the best independent learners recognize how important it is to collaborate with other people when undertaking a project because a wider range of ideas can lead to a better outcome. Apart from your supervisor, you will talk with and seek advice from your parents, friends, other adult leaders, and experts in the field of study. However, the work that you do must be your own.
How will I be assessed?
4
The personal project is assessed against four criteria. Each criterion is of equal value and has eight levels of success:
The criteria are:
Criterion A: InvestigatingYou will be assessed on your ability to define a clear goal and global context for the project, your ability to identify prior learning and subject specific knowledge relevant to the project, and the quality of your research skills.
Criterion B: PlanningYou will be assessed on your ability to develop criteria for the product/outcome, your ability to plan and record the development process, and your ability to demonstrate self-management skills.
Criterion C: Taking ActionYou will be assessed on your ability to create a product/outcome in response to the learning goal , the global context and the criteria you created in the planning process. You will also be assessed on your ability to demonstrate your thinking skills and your communication and social skills.
Criterion D: ReflectingYou will be assessed on your ability to evaluate the quality of the product/outcome against the criteria you created, your ability to reflect on how completing the project has extended your knowledge and understanding of the topic and the global context, and your ability to reflect on your development as IB learners throughout the project.
Great! So, how do I start the personal project?
Choosing a TopicYOU MUST START WITH THE TOPIC! NOT WITH THE PRODUCT!
Your product will be a result of your topic and your global context. Don’t decide you will build a skateboard without having a topic first! There needs to be a good reason for building that skateboard.
Choose a topic for investigation that genuinely interests you, is NEW learning and is appropriately challenging.
So, what topics can you choose? You can choose anything that is of interest to you. To help you get started, make some lists:
5
What do you want to achieve through your project? What do you want to understand through your work? What impact do you want your project to have? What is most important to you? What issues concern you?
Once you have generated a list of possible topics to investigate, you will need to whittle it down.
Which one appeals to you the most? Which one will be challenging enough to keep you interested for several
months?
Now comes the hard part: make a choice. Pick ONE topic.
The topic I will investigate for my personal project is____________________________.I have chosen this topic because…
Choosing a Global Context
Now, and most importantly, you MUST choose a global context to be the focus of your project investigation. You have six choices:
Identities and Relationships: You will explore identify; beliefs and values; personal physical, mental social and spiritual health; human relationships including families, friends, communities and cultures. You will be looking at what it means to be human.
Projects that fit in this global context might include:o Two sides of social networkingo An awareness of bullying in in its many formso How the digital world impacts relationshipso Culinary traditions and the importance of food in a cultureo The effects of mass media on the teenage identity
Orientation in space and time: You will explore personal histories; homes and journeys; turning points in humankind; discoveries; explorations and migrations of humankind; the relationships between and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations from personal, local, and global perspectives.
Projects that fit in this global context might include:o The Euclidean space perspective of the universe
6
o Immigration issueso Family histories
Personal and Cultural Expression: You will explore the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values; the ways in which we reflect on, extend, and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of the aesthetic.
Projects that fit in this global context might include:o Video games as a form of cultural expressiono The art of Mangao Culture and self-expression through danceo Artistry, craft and creationo Philosophies and ways of life
Scientific and technical innovation: You will explore the natural world and its laws; the interaction between people and the natural world; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on communities and environments; the impact of environments on human activity; how humans adapt environments to their needs.
Projects that fit in this global context might include:o Building a stronger bike using nano fiberso An informational talk on space diamondso Can stem cells replace organ transplantso New technologies and their impact
Globalization and sustainability: You will explore the interconnectedness of human-made systems and communities; the relationship between local and global processes; how local experiences mediate the global; the opportunities and tensions provided by world-interconnectedness; the impact of decision-making on humankind and the environment.
Projects that fit in this global context might include:o Raising awareness on the struggle for water in developing countrieso The impact of the financial crises of Europe and the European Economic
Community on the United Stateso Education as a tool to change the future of a communityo The role of the developing countries in protecting the rain foresto Conservationo Urban planning and infrastructure
7
Fairness and development: You will explore rights and responsibilities; the relationship between communities; sharing finite resources with other people and with living things; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution.
Projects that fit in this global context might include:o An awareness campaign supporting fair tradeo Open market economies and their role in fair tradeo Exploring intersections of race and inequalityo Asylum seekers and their right to live like uso Justiceo Civil Rightso Civic responsibilities
As you think about your global context, you might consider the following:
What is the goal of my project? What do I want others to understand about my project? What kind of impact do I want my project to have? How can a specific context give greater purpose to my project?
If my project were to involve rap music, my inquiry might look like this:
Identity and Relationships Examine the question “Why does rap speak to me?”
Orientation in Space and Time Explore the development of rap as a style of music across continents
Personal and Cultural Expression
Perform a rap song of my own creation and have a question and answer session
Scientific and technical Innovation
Explore how technological advances have impacted the quality of recording rap music
Globalization and Sustainability
An exploration of the impact of living conditions on rap music
Fairness and DevelopmentExamine the question “What impact has rap music had on civil rights?” or “How has the civil rights movement given rise to rap music?”
The global context I will use is______________________________________________.

Investigating
An investigation for the personal project is the action of finding out information about your chosen topic. You will need to create a plan for identifying what you need to know that is relevant to your project.
To reach the highest levels of achievement in investigating, you will need to use a variety of resources and evaluate them for reliability and validity.
Sources to consider: Articles from magazines, journals, newspapers, books Websites Experts in the field Your own knowledge Survey data Video or audio recordings Images School subject area materials Prior knowledge-however, this does not provide sufficient depth or breadth
alone
You should use them all, initially, to find out as much as you can on your topic.
Record all of the sources you read, view, listen to, and interview, in your process journal. This will form a valuable resource for later in the project.
How do I choose information?
9
Now that you have gathered all of your information, you need to sort out what is most useful and appropriate for your project.
There are many techniques you can apply to choose which information to use and which to leave out. Sometimes one technique will work. But, more likely you will have to use combinations of them to finally choose what information to use. Listed below, are a few of the techniques for selecting information.
Straight Logic
This technique requires you to simply select information by thinking about its relevance to your inquiry question. You label pieces of information as either “relevant” or “irrelevant” and then use the “relevant” information for your project.
Degree of importance
You make four categories and go through your information labeling each piece of information according to the category that best describes what you have found. The categories are:
Absolutely essential
You cannot respond to the inquiry question if you don’t use this information. Keep it and use it.
Very useful
This is information that should be used in the response because it makes very clear to everyone what you have learned or want other people to learn about your topic. Keep and use as much of this as you can.
Interesting
This information does refer to the inquiry question, but if you did leave it out it wouldn’t radically change your response. Use it if you don’t have enough of the two levels above.
Irrelevant
When you look at your inquiry question this information doesn’t really help. It is related to the topic only, but not the area of interaction. You ignore this information.
The Checklist
10
For this technique you have a series of question that you apply to each piece of information. If it receives ticks against all questions then clearly you should use the information in your response.
• Is the information source reliable and is the information accurate? • Is the information current or still valuable if it is older? • Does the information help me respond to the inquiry question? • Does the information connect clearly with the area of interaction or aspects of it? • Does the information belong to my topic? • Will the information help me to develop my project product?
Mind-mapping
For this technique, you draw the information that you believe will help you to respond to your inquiry question around the inquiry question. This way you can ‘see’ how your information fits together or interconnects.
The important thing is that you do consciously sort through your information until you are satisfied you have collected everything that you think you need to make a response to the inquiry question. Then you begin a new process in the Personal Project.
Process Journal
Your process journal is a complete record of EVERYTHING you do for your personal project, from start to finish. You should use your journal to store:
Notes and ideas on your project Information gathered from your investigations Drawings, pictures, clippings, photographs, etc. Copies of interviews and discussions with people Concepts for your project Resources Plans for your project Timelines
Your journal can be written, visual, audio, or a combination of any of these. Process journals have been websites, scrapbooks, booklets, wikis, blogs, slideshows, word documents, notebooks, and video journals. But you are not limited to this list. Choose the style that is most effective for your learning style and make it awesome!
The process journal is… The process journal isn’t… begun at the very start of the process used on a daily basis (unless this is

Outcome/Product
Now that you have your topic, your global context, and have done some research around your topic, you can NOW decide your product.
You may choose from an almost endless list of possibilities for your product – choose to create an item that will best demonstrate what you have learned through your investigation and will show other people what you have learned. Examples include:
Performances: play, dance, song, speech Published Writing: creative prose, collection of poetry, essay, extended article,
script, review Events: fund-raising events, service in action, celebration Static visual displays: photographs, art, poster, model, artifact, drawings,
statistical data Interactive displays: web site, video, audio-visual, animation

My outcome/product will be ________________________________________________
Developing Criteria
Now that you have decided on a topic, a global context, and an outcome, you need to develop criteria, which is a realistic measure of the quality of the product. Criteria should only be developed once you have a solid idea of what your goal is and what you want to achieve with your final product.
Let’s stick with the rap examples seen in step one. The goal is to write a rap to raise awareness about bullying, a very personal issue. The outcome is a rap, which expresses the desired message to a target audience, and a video of the rap performance, which emphasizes the message. So, how would one develop criteria?The criteria might include a time length of the rap, a sample audience that will be interviewed for the ability of the rap to express the message, and a survey about the ability of the video to portray the message.
13
The criteria might take the form of a checklist or a rubric.
Questions you might find useful: What type of information will I include? How will I present the information? Do I need to consider any copyright or intellectual property issues? Who is the audience and what do they think? What type of information do I need to include?
Organizing
Now that you know what you are doing, you need to plan how you will get there. Managing your time is one of the most crucial elements of the project. It is essential that you create a timeline of what you plan to do and when you plan to do it.
Remember, plans can change as circumstances change, but by planning, you give yourself clear goals and raise your awareness of the time you have to complete tasks for the personal project.
Following is an example of a timeline. Below, you will find a blank timeline you may choose to use for planning. Your timeline will develop as your project develops. This is an important item to include in your process journal.

visual thinking in diagrams or annotated illustrations bulleted lists charts short paragraphs or notes timelines/action plans annotated research artifacts pictures/sketches/screenshots
15
feedback anything else you deem important.
The Report
The project report is a formal reflection of the entire process. It will explain clearly, to whoever reads, listens to or watches it, your global context, your topic, your product, your process, your resources you selected and why you selected them, the techniques you applied, the challenges you faced, and most importantly, what you learned about your topic AND yourself as a learner.
What should the project look like?
The report can take different formats depending on the resources available to you and your personal preferences. Your ability to communicate clearly and concisely is ESSENTIAL in writing the report.
You can choose to report the project thought:
a written report, an electronic report, such as a website, a blog, or a slideshow an oral report that includes visual support a multimedia presentation such as a short film
The information you include in the report MUST be organized into specific sections. The report does not replace the product our outcome of your project, so think carefully about how you will communicate the information in the best way for your project.
Structure of the personal project report

All Reports
All formats must have a title page, which includes:
Name Title of the Project Length (word count) School Name Year
All reports must be concise and succinct in form and must be divided into sections with sub-headings. The sections must include:
Investigating Planning Taking Action Reflecting Bibliography in MLA format (this does not count in total word count)
Oral, electronic, and visual reports must be accompanied by a summary (maximum of 150 words), a title page, and a bibliography.**If you are selecting to do a multimedia report that involves both written and audio/visual formats, the maximum time and word limits are correlated as seen in the table on the next page.
Time of audio-visual recording

6 minutes AND 900 – 2100 words
9 minutes AND 600 – 1400 words
12 minutes AND 300 – 700 words
Can anyone help me to edit my project report?
The project report should be as error-free as possible so it is essential that you seek other people to edit your drafts. You can approach family, friends, and teachers for assistance with grammar, punctuation and spelling matters, as well as sentence construction and wording. However, while they can help you with editing, they can’t write the report for you. It must be your own work.
The same principle applies if you are reporting your project in another format. If you are planning an oral presentation, it is important to practice in front of an audience and ask for feedback.
Use the checklist on the next page to ensure you have everything you need in your report.
