Dear AAPS Families, Community Members and Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to view the Huron International Baccalaureate
Personal Project Exhibition Website! Here is the link to the website: https://sites.google.com/aaps.k12.mi.us/20-21personalprojectexhibition/home
The Personal Project is the culminating event of the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and showcases individual learning. It focuses on a topic chosen by the student and challenges students to demonstrate their learning capabilities through an extended project.
Success with the Personal Project is connected to skills every successful student needs:
- Goal Setting, planning, and problem solving
- Developing skills and attitudes needed for sustained and focused work
- Taking action to implement their plan
- Effectively communicating personal and academic learning
- Reflecting on learning and goal achievement.
Students started working on their project in October of 2020 and completed them, along with a written report, at the end of March in 2021. Students moved through the four phases of the Personal Project curriculum: investigation, planning, taking action, and reflection as they worked on their projects. While we traditionally hold an in-person exhibition to celebrate this accomplishment, we hope this year's virtual exhibition will be able to give you a sense of what some of our students were able to accomplish in this unprecedented year. We hope you enjoy exploring a sample of the different projects that our students created this year.
Sincerely,
The 2020-2021 Huron Personal Project Team
