The personal project is a significant body of work produced over an extended period. It is a product of your own initiative and should reflect your experience of the MYP. The personal project holds a very important place in the programme. It provides an excellent opportunity for you to produce a truly creative piece of work of your choice and to demonstrate the skills you have learned in approaches to learning.
It provides an opportunity for you to select a topic or theme about which you are enthusiastic, and to show commitment to the completion of your own project. It is designed to assess your ability to organize and create.
Aims of the Personal Project
The aims of the Personal Project are to:
• demonstrate the personal abilities and skills required to produce and present an extended piece of work
• engage in personal inquiry, action and reflection on specific topics and issues
• focus on, and demonstrate an understanding of, the areas of interaction
• reflect on learning and share knowledge, views and opinions.
The Personal Project is a required independent study project for MYP students. Students use the Design Cycle (idea, research, work, product, reflection) to create a project that incorporates Approaches to Learning (ATL) and one other Area of Interaction (AOI).
The personal project holds a place of special importance in the MYP, and thus it should be closely linked to the areas of interaction. Remember, you will be working on this project for an extended period of time, and your grade for the personal project is as important as any subject grade, so it needs to be something you really want to do.
