To  Do  by  Sept.  10th  for  New  Students    

   1.  Email  Ms.  Hoe  and  Mr.  Kedrowski  about  the  following  by  8am  on  September  10th:  

• Ideas  for  your  topic  o If  you  could  learn  about  anything,  what  would  it  be?    o What  are  you  passionate  about?  o What  do  you  love  to  do?  

 • Ideas  for  your  goal  

o How  will  your  learning  benefit  our  community  (local  or  global)?  o How  will  your  learning  benefit  you?  

 After  you  have  sent  this  very  important  brainstorm  email,  we  will  hash  out  your  project  proposal.  Woot  woot!  

Read  Me!  The  Personal  Project  is  an  opportunity  for  you  to  design  your  own  course.  Imagine  you  are  working  at  a  brand  new  school.  This  school  is  open  to  any  and  all  ideas—you  could  design  a  course  that  is  entirely  outside,  a  course  that  is  entirely  hands-­‐on,  a  course  that  tackles  any  topic  you  are  passionately  curious  about!  For  this  course,  you  get  to  pick  all  the  materials:  what  you  read,  what  you  watch,  who  teaches  you  (your  mentors),  your  field  trips,  and  even  your  final  assessment.    Your  “topic”  is  what  you  will  learn  about.  Your  “goal”  is  what  you  will  do  with  your  learning.  Your  “product/outcome”  is  what  you  will  be  able  to  show  others.  Your  “criteria”  is  how  you  will  assess  your  product/outcome.  Your  “process  journal”  is  how  you  will  demonstrate  your  learning  process.    Remember:    The  Personal  Project  is  not  a  chance  for  you  to  “make”  something.  It  is  a  chance  for  you  to  “learn”  something.  You  might  make  something  in  the  process,  but  your  focus  is  on  learning,  as  if  you  were  designing  the  raddest  course  of  all  time!
