The
Personal
Project
Report
is
a
structured
piece
of
writing
that
shows
evidence
of
the
entire
process
you
went
through
to
complete
your
Personal
Project.
There
is
a
specific
structure
that
you
must
follow
and
specific
criteria
that
you
must
include.
Much
of
your
grade
on
this
project
comes
from
your
supervisor
and
the
MYP
coordinator
reviewing
the
Personal
Statement
Report
you
submit.
It
is
therefore
VERY
important
that
the
following
objectives
are
thorough
and
complete.

appropriate).
This

additional

where
you
may
include
addition
materials
that
support
your
project
including
diagrams,
photographs,
flow
charts,
sheet
music,
charts,
graphs,
and
illustrations.
How
long
does
my
Personal
Statement
Report
have
to
be?
The
length
of
the
Personal
Project
Report
varies,
given
the
variety
of
types
of
projects
that
is
acceptable.
The
International
Baccalaureate
expects
students
to
express
reflective
thinking
in
a
concise
and
precise
manner.
Therefore,
the
minimum
length
of
the
report
is
1,500
words.
The
maximum
length
is
3,500
words.
The
report
does
not
replace
the
product/outcome
of
the
personal
project.
If
the
product/outcome
of
a
project
is
in
written
form,
such
as
an
essay
or
novel,
this
is
considered
as
distinct
from
the
Personal
Project
Report.

Identifying
Global
Context
The
global
context
chosen
by
the
student
provides
a
context
for
inquiry
and
research
for
the
project.
Students
choose
only
one
global
context
to
define
their
goal.
In
most
cases
other
global
contexts
may
inform
the
project
or
offer
other
perspectives,
but
the
focus
on
one
context
will
present
opportunities
that
emerge
through
(self-imposed)
limitations
and
give
a
specific
focus
to
the
project.
There
are
six
Global
Contexts
to
choose
from.
Each
of
them
is
described
in
detail
on
page
13
of
this
guide.
They
are:
Identities
and
relationships
Orientation
in
space
and
time
Personal
and
cultural
expression
Scientific
and
technical
innovation
Globalization
and
sustainability
Fairness
and
development

REFLECTIONS
There
are
three
big
questions/prompts
that
should
guide
you
in
your
reflection:
1. How
did
completing
the
project
extend
your
knowledge/understanding
of
the
topic?
2. How
did
completing
the
project
extend
your
understanding
of
the
chosen
Area
of
Interaction?
3. How
have
you
grown
as
a
learner
by
completing
the
project?
What
learner
profile
traits
did
you
exhibit
during
your
project?
You
should
reflect
on
your
learning
throughout
the
entire
process
and
record
these
reflections
in
your
Process
Journal.
You
must
explain
your
reflections
in
the
Reflections
section
in
your
Personal
Project
Report.
