  5. What is the Personal Project? • Personal and creative work initiated and developed by the student. • Student-directed inquiry aimed at developing the skills necessary to be independent, lifelong learners • Differentiated learning opportunity that allows for expression according to students’ individual needs • Students: • Generate ideas • Plan steps for completion • Determine specifications to assess whether the goal has been achieved

  7. Picking the Topic Brainstorm • Something that you’ve always wanted to learn • Major issues facing your community • What are they and how can you address them? • I would like to construct, compose, improve… Don’t forget – this is YOUR project.
