MYP Personal Project 2019-2020

A guide to help students with their MYP Personal Projects.

Layout of the report

  • Use the information you recorded in your Process Journal to write your report
  • The report must be broken into 4 identifiable sections:
    • Investigating
    • Planning
    • Taking Action 
    • Reflection
  • These sections will become your 4 main headings
  • Under each heading divide your report further into the sub-sections as seen in the four criteria boxes below
  • For example:
    • Investigating
      • Goal and global context exploration based on personal interest
      • Prior learning and subject-specific knowledge
      • Research skills
  • Make sure you provide a copy of your draft report to your supervisor to read and give feedback to you by the set due date (see ManageBac)

Order of the report

1. Cover sheet - includes candidate number, project title, year, and word count.

Do NOT put your name or school's name anywhere.

2. Academic Honesty Form - completed and signed by you and your supervisor 
3. Contents page - all pages are to be numbered

4. Body of the report - arranged in sections and sub-sections

5. Appendices - identified by a letter or number e.g. Appendix 1. Arrange the appendices according to the order in which you refer to the appendices in the report. Anything you include as an appendix must be referred to in the body of your report. You may refer to the appendices as often as you like. (consult Learning Commons staff for assistance) Include evidence of your final product or outcome so that others who may not have access to it can understand what form it took. The evidence could be images, screenshots or other appropriate ways to showcase your work.

6. Bibliography AND Works Cited - The bibliography is a list of ALL the works that have informed the student's project- EVEN IF these have not been used as in-text citations in the final report. Students should ALSO include a properly formatted MLA works cited list.

Criterion A - Investigating

Criterion B: Planning

Criterion C: Taking Action
