If you have a student who finished the 9th grade this past school year, please check and see if he/she is planning on completing a Personal Project. Information was distributed this spring during school.
The Personal Project can be on anything of interest to the student. The process is more important than the product. Planning, development, and implementation of an idea. Yes, there is some research. Yes, it can be about anything. Are you interested in gardening, photography, traveling, witches, magical kingdoms or famous tourist spots in Minnesota? Well any of these and millions more would be great topics to start a Person Project.
The student needs to keep a journal to log her/his work, trial and tribulations about the project. Does not have to be daily entry but should help the student remember where he/she has been and done.
More information is on the Southwest web site under MYP:
