PROCESS JOURNAL:
Through each phase of the Personal Project, you will be responsible for maintaining a process journal. Your process journal is a complete record of everything you do for your Personal Project from start to finish. It should record all your ideas, your planning, your discussions, clippings of readings and concepts, diary excerpts, meeting schedules and outcomes with your supervisor, photographs – whatever you do that is part of the process should be kept in this document. You choose the format of your journal. It might be a scrapbook, a notebook or an online platform (blog, wiki, etc.).
You will also receive a set of journal prompts that directly relate to sections of the reflection paper you will write after your personal project is complete. You will submit your journal as a part of your project.

- Your teacher will use parts of this journal to assess the progress of your personal project
- It should be updated regularly during the development of the project, and should be used to record progress honestly, containing thoughts, ideas, decisions, feelings and reflections.
- The process journal should not be redone as a “good copy” since it should reflect changes, doodles, notes in the margin, pictures, ideas, reminders, drawings material samples, etc.
- It need not be neat or well presented, but should be honestly filled in regularly to show you how your project is developing.
- You will use this in discussions with your teacher to show the rate and direction of progress being made.

The report should be presented in identifiable sections, following the MYP project objectives—investigating, planning, taking action and reflecting. The report must include evidence for all the strands of all criteria.
