The Personal Project is assessed using four criteria. Each criterion has 8 levels

• Criterion A: Investigating 

• Criterion B: Planning

• Criterion C: Taking action

• Criterion D: Reflecting

  You need to choose a topic to research that will help you to achieve a goal by creating a product. Choosing a global context exploration will help you to focus your project.

  You need to record all your thoughts, reflections, processes, planning, decisions, communications and more in a process journal.  This journal will provide you with the content to write your report at the end of the project. It must be comprehensive and annotated.

You will create a product or outcome that best achieves your goal

You will submit a report meeting the assessment criteria and accepted structure (see below)
