ACTION

Students’ learning process in the MYP personal project involves action in a wide range of forms, including:


 * • developing an area of personal interest beyond the subject-specific curriculum **


 * • sharing their new understandings with their peers, teachers and family **


 * • changing their behaviour in response to their learning and recognizing that they are able to make a difference through the decisions they make and the things they do. **

While principled action may not always be clearly or immediately visible or measurable, it is important that **students record and reflect on how what they have learned has impacted their attitudes and behaviour.**

**The process of reflection should be carried out throughout the project, not just at the end.** Students should be encouraged to **reflect regularly on their inquiry process** and on **the actions** they have taken at various stages of their project.

The development of the personal project will follow the same stages as the community project: investigating, planning, taking action, reflecting and demonstrating. In the case of the personal project, the report will become the demonstration of the first four stages: a summary of the students’ processes of investigation, planning, actions and reflections.
