GRADE 10 PERSONAL PROJECT RETREAT
Grade 10 students are getting ready to embark on a 6-month journey into their Middle Years Program Personal Projects. The MYP Personal Project holds a very important place in the program. It is a significant body of work produced from their own initiative which combines their experience in the MYP where, at the end of the project, they present a product or outcome. This long-term project is designed as an independent learning experience of approximately 25 hours.
To help our sophomores thoroughly research a variety of sources, and properly document their work, they will attend a Personal Project Retreat on Wednesday, Sep 12, 2018, for the entire school day, specifically from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Indianapolis Central Library. We will have lunch at the Circle Center Mall, so students are required to bring money to purchase their food.
GRADE 10 PERSONAL PROJECT MINI MEETINGS
Grade 10 students need to attend 5 minutes meetings with the Middle Years Program Coordinator this Tuesday and Thursday. These have been scheduled and can be viewed by students

. At this meeting, students will show Mrs. Benavente pages 11-13 of their PP Introduction Document completed. They will also provide essential information to allow for registration of personal projects on the IB Portal.
