    1. General Guidelines

    WHAT IS THE MINI PERSONAL PROJECT ?

    The Mini Personal Project is a simplified and modified version of the MYP Personal project.

    It provides an excellent opportunity for students to produce a truly personal and creative work of their choice.

    It demonstrates the skills they have developed through Approaches to learning.

    WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THE MINI PERSONAL PROJECT?

    Along with the eight subject groups, the six global contexts form the core of the programme.

    The global contexts are central to the experience of the mini personal project.

    Students may discover a sense of autonomy and confidence in their own learning.

    It can be very rewarding for supervisors to work with individual students and see their development.

    It can be a creative piece of work or it can be a piece of writing based on a particular topic.

    WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO FOLLOW ? The steps of the project development are as follows: • Choose and research the subjects and themes by focusing on one Global Context and the Essential Question.

    Plan the project. • Research and collect the required materials. • Work on the project individually.

    Contact your supervisor regularly. • Use the project journal effectively. • Present the result.

    WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE SUPERVISOR?

    provide guidance to students in the planning, research and completion of the mini personal project.

    encourage students to test and develop their own ideas.

    encourage students to meet deadlines.

    give students informative feedback on their work during and after the meetings.

    cooperate closely with the IT instructor.

    report to the MYP Coordinator about the process and progress of the project. • assess the project according to the criteria.

    WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETINGS WITH THE SUPERVISOR?

    the requirement for academic honesty. WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ACADEMIC HONESTY IN THE MINI PERSONAL PROJECT?

    Developing an academic honesty policy is a requirement for MYP schools. During the MYP, students will develop their understanding of the requirements for and practices of academic honesty, which is important in the process of completing the project. Students will gather information and ideas from various sources and will select what is most relevant and reliable for the completion of the project. When reporting the project, students must acknowledge these sources:

    Bibkiography

    Refrences

    Citation

    Appendices

    WHAT IS A BIBLIOGRAPHY? A bibliography is an alphabetical list of every source used to research the personal project. WHAT IS A LIST OF REFERENCES? A list of references is an alphabetical list of only those sources that are cited in the project report. WHAT IS A CITATION ?

    A citation is an indication of where information has been obtained and has a full reference at the end of the project report.

    WHAT ARE THE APPENDICES?

    Appendices are additional materials that students include at the end of their report in order to support the completion of their project.

    The appendices could include secondary information that may be of interest.

    For example, if the student has produced a questionnaire, which has been described and analysed in the report, he or she could include one or two completed questionnaires as examples in an appendix.

    2. Topic.

  • 4

    Steps to choose the topic.Before you choose the topic consider the following steps:

    Understand your supervisors’s requirements or the rules for the project.

    Read the instructions carefully and ask questions if you need clarification.

    Brainstorm for ideas.

    Make sure that the topic is manageable and that material is available.

    Make a list of key words. Use a web map.

    Research and read more about your topic.

    Suggestions and Examples. As you think about what topic to choose, consider the following statements to get you started:

    Something that you have always wanted to learn but have never had the opportunity.

    Problems in our community you want to solve.

    A personal interest or hobby that you'd like to write about.

    Something you can innovate to improve the quality of life or community.

    An aspect of a class that you are interested in learning more about.

    Focus on Your Topic- Keep it manageable .A topic will be very difficult to research

    if it is too broad or narrow. One way to narrow a broad topic such as "the

    environment" is to limit your topic. Some common ways to limit a topic are: Education

    Using physics to perfect a sport (a pool shot, a hockey shot, a free-throw, etc.)

    Pros and cons of school uniforms. Economy

    Developing a marketing campaign to address a Teen Issue, like teen pregnancy. Science

    Developing a plan for a solar powered car.

    Doing a research/lab report for an original scientific idea. Sports and Health

    Developing a new strategy for chess, poker or another game.

    The influence of tobacco use on the human body. Maths

    The role of Maths in games and winning strategies.

    The use Monte Carlo methods to find areas or to estimate pi. Environment

    Is global warming a hoax? Is it being exaggerated?

    How does environmental awareness effect business practices today? Design

    Building something - like a guitar, furniture, etc.

    Designing and making jewelery. Music

  • 5

    How has the music industry been affected by the internet and digital downloading?

    The power of creativity while composing music. Social Studies

    Researching your genealogy.

    Reasons of the Fall of Roman Empire.

    Make a List of Useful Keywords. Keep track of the words that are used to

    describe your topic.

    Look for words that best describe your topic

    Look for them in when reading encyclopedia articles and background and general information

    Find broader and narrower terms, synonyms, key concepts for key words to widen your search capabilities

    Make note of these words and use them later when searching databases and catalogs Record your ideas into your journal.

    Journal Entry (Brainstorming the ideas for the research topic):

    Brainstorm a list of three things you want to learn more about. Why do you want to

    learn more about them?

    Journal Entry (Identifying the topic)

    Identify one topic that interests you that could develop into a mini personal project.

    Why is this topic of interest to you?

    Step 2 Select your Global Context

  • 6

    Definition: Global Contexts serve as "lenses" through which students explore ideas, investigate connections across and between subject areas, and apply their knowledge to real world problems. The global context will help you to explain why your project matters. Steps and Examples. Look at some examples which will give you some ideas how to choose the global context easily. When Choosing Global Context please consider: • What do I want to achieve through my personal project? • What do I want others to understand through my work? • What impact do I want my personal project to have? • How can a specific context give greater purpose to my project? Global contexts examples Identities and Relationships.

    Who am I? Who are we?

    You will explore identity; beliefs and values; personal, physical, mental, social and spiritual health; human relationships including families, friends, communities and cultures; what it means to be human

    Step 3 Come up with your Big Essential Question

    While doing a research, the essential question will play a very importnat role, it will

    lead you throughout the topic. Now when you have chosen a topic and selected the

    global context, you have to come up with an essentail question.

    Definition of the Essential Question:

    Open-ended

    The answers to essential questions cannot be found in a book or on a website.

    Thought-provoking

    They generate multiple answers and perspectives.

    They generate more questions.

    Universal

    They lead to discovery.

    They are higher-order; they always take us to analysis, synthesis and evaluation.

    Steps of composing an essential question.

    Write down the main concept that you are trying to research in your project:

    “ Understand the reasons why scientists classify organisms and how they do it”.

    The next step in writing essential questions is to take the statement and convert it

    into an actual question:

    “"Why do scientists classify organisms?", "How do scientists classify

    organisms?", or "What are the classifications of organisms?"

    Think about what would interest other people the most about the questions that

    you write down.

    Remember that an essential question should not have an obvious right answer

    and the answers to it should not be simple.

    Make your question as clear as possible. It shouldn’t be very long.

    Have several other people read it to make sure that they understand.

    Examples and Suggestions.

    Look at the examples of the essential questions and come up with your own.

    Essential Questions in History and Social Studies

    • How can we know what really happened in the past?

    • Why do people move?

    • What am I afraid of in hesitating to speak this language? How can I overcome my

    hesitancy?

    • How do native speakers differ, if at all, from fluent foreigners? How can I sound more

    like a native speaker?

    2. Research Step 1 Reserch your topic In this part of the process you will be researching the information that will help you learn more about your topic so you can create your final product. Definition. Reasearch is a careful study that is done to find and report new knowledge about something. It consists of three steps:

    Pose a question

    Collect data to answer the question

    Present an answer to the question Research tools. The best place to begin is the library. The library will have magazines, newspapers, books on the subject, scientific references, and electronic resources, each with information about some aspect of your topic. Steps of doing a research.

    Think about your topic, global context and essential question .

    Look at different resources. Use the library.

    Note down the information you have researched.

    Organise your notes.

    At a minimum, you must find 4 RELIABLE sources of information.

    Write the names of the resources your are using.

  • 13

    Examples and suggestions Below you can see some examples of other students’ researches. Read them carefully and think of the way you can conduct your own research based on your topic, global context and the essential question. 1. Topic: Well-being Global context: Identities and Relationships. Essential question: How can new students to our school feel welcome and

    supported? Research: Research and analyse the effects of moving to a new school on a

    person’s sense of identity – how relationships develop/how people can be helped to settle into a new environment.

    2. Topic: Working environment and health Global context: globalization and sustainability Essential question: What can I do to help improve the school environment? Research: Research the effect of the environment on health considering the

    location of the p lants’ influence on health and safety policies at the school. 3. The topic: The value of bamboo

    Global context: Personal and Cultural Expression. The essential question: What value does bamboo have for theVietnamese? Reaseach: Explore the uses of bamboo in the Vietnamese community and Vietnam overall.

    4. Presentation

    Expectations:

    Speak with a clear voice so that everyone can hear.

    Stand aside when you are pointing out pictures, maps, charts, drawings, or diagrams.

    Do not read long passages from your notes.

    Know your material so that you sound like an informed person.

    Be as calm as possible. Try to show that you have confidence in your work.

    Do not chew gum when presenting.

    Be ready to tell where you got your information.

    Explain what your visual display shows, but don't read everything that is on it to your audience. Let the audience read it later.

    Never make up an answer. You are expected to give only accurate information.

    When your project is due to be presented, have it ready in final form and on time!

    Tips and suggestions for the presentation.

    While doing a presentation consider the following tips below:

    Visual Images: limit the number of words on each page of your presentation. Use appropriate and relevant icons, graphics, symbols, pictures, diagrams and charts to convey your message.

    Engaging the Audience: encourage audience involvement, ask questions to those who listen to you in order to be sure your message has been understood.

    Delivering the Presentation: project presentations typically answer these questions: Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? Be sure to structure your presentation to get across these messages.

    Voice and manner: when you deliver it, take care to speak slowly but enthusiastically. Use short sentences and pause between thoughts to draw the audience attention. Journal Entry: Writing an Abstract Before you do the presentation please write a research abstract into your journal entry. Below you can find some tips how to write an abstract.

  • 18

    What is an Abstract? An abstract is a short written summary of work which an individual would like to share with others before doing a presentation of the project. Suggestions and steps how to write an abstract. 1. Write an introductory paragraph stating the background or purpose of the

    work you wish to present.

    2. Compose a body paragraph (the main paragraph) in which you will give details

    about your topic.

    3. Write the results paragraph in which you mention the data that were analyzed.

    4. Write a conclusion which explains the reasons for the choice of topic, what was

    learned from the research, and what conclusions were made based on the results.

    Examples of the abstracts:

    Abstract 1 “The Tony Hawk Learning Project”

    The study is to show how even a “sport” video game can incorporate many types

    of learning, to call attention to what might be overlooked as significant forms of

    learning, and to understand and take advantage of the opportunities video games

    afford as more deliberate learning environments. The aspects explored are the

    skills and techniques required to be successful in the game, the environment that

    skaters skate in, the personal vs. group identity that is shown through the general

    appearance of the skater, and the values and icons that the game teaches players.

    We are finding that sport video games support learning; we hope to find how one

    learns about oneself as a learner from playing.

    Abstract 2 “The Genetics of Bone Strength in Mice”

    The purpose of this study is to identify relationships between the physical and

    genetic characteristics of bones in mice. The physical characteristics include size,

    density, and the force required to break the bone, while the genetic ones are the

    genes of the marker loci associated with the genes that affect these qualities. This

    study uses strains of mice with reduced genetic variation. The two strains of mice

    that are the most phenotypically extreme, meaning those with the strongest and

    weakest bones, are crossed. The F2 generation from that cross is then analyzed.

    The results of this analysis can be used to find which genotypes correlate with

    specific bone properties like size, density, and failure load. The anticipated

    outcome of this lab is the identification of the genotypes that affect bone strength

    in mice. The findings may be useful in treating medical conditions that are related

    to bone strength.
