Journal #3
The personal project requires three parts:
The process journal
The product
The project report
The product is what you develop as a result of what you learned. In the past,
students have created things such as an original piece of art, a piece of written
work, an original science experiment, a plan for a new invention, a piece of
fiction, a film, jewelry, ceramics, a website, or a community service project.
Identify what you want to create as your product/outcome. What will you need
to learn to be able to accomplish this project? Make a list of questions you will
need to answer or information that you will need to gather to better understand
your topic.
