3 The task and outcome  During this half term you will be completing a personal project on one of the UN Global Issues that you were introduced to before the break.  Your Personal Project can be presented in whatever format you chose, however, it should not be any larger than A3 size as all of the projects will be displayed.

4 The purpose  The purpose of the project is to further develop your research and enquiry skills as well as giving you the opportunity to explore a specific aspect of a global issue.  The project will also give you the opportunity to further develop your organisational, communication and IT skills.  The project will also give you the opportunity to develop as a reflective learner.

5 Becoming an effective learner  You should make an effort to develop your higher order thinking skills during this project. The main pitfall is that your project will be too descriptive.  Try to be analytical (explaining and giving evidence)  Try to synthesise (bring together) your research material rather than use each piece in isolation. Think of it like a jigsaw – each piece is relevant but when put together correctly the bigger picture can be seen and understood.  Try to evaluate factors, causes, reasons etc. Which is more/less important and why?

6 Becoming a reflective learner  You should take time each week to reflect on your learning/progress. It is important to keep a record of these reflections.  Questions you should ask yourself include: What went well, what could be improved, what questions have I got?

7 Before you start  Before you start your project you will need to make sure you understand how you will complete the project as well as the rubric – how your work will be assessed.  You should also create your own flow diagram that identifies the different stages and time scale to ensure your project is completed.

8 Completing the project overview Stage 1 Getting started By week ending 1 March Stage 2 Completing the project Fri 12 April (SM/CI/SH) Mon 15 April (IM) Stage 3 Reflecting on the project By week ending 19 April

9 Completing the project Stage 1  To choose a specific topic of interest/ focus area relating to your global issue  To identify a suitable research question/hypothesis and a goal for your learning  To consider how are you going to gather your information and find your sources. You should use a range of sources (news articles, UN documents, statistics, maps, graphs, photos etc), including at least 2 sources that are not internet based (magazines and books from the library).

10 Completing the project Stage 2 - Structure  Title page  Introduction  Main body  Conclusion  Bibliography

11 Title page and introduction  This should clearly display your research question and your name In the introduction you will need to:  explain your choice of research question.  give background information regarding the global issue  outline what you hope to achieve in your project

12 Main body  This should be divided into sections  You should ensure that each section is relevant to your research question  The History and English departments have already taught you a good structure: PEE (Point Explain Evidence) or ARE (Argument Reasoning Example)

13 Conclusion and Bibliography  In the conclusion you should return to your original research question. Are you now in a place to answer the question. What is your answer? If you haven’t fully answered the question – what further research would you need to carry out?  If you were to repeat the process would you now ask a different question? If so what would it be?  The bibliography should be completed using the MLA format – you should cite all the sources you have used.

14 Stage 3 Final reflections  This will be done after completing the project. You will need to reflect on all the aspects of the project e.g. identifying a research question, finding useful sources, your ability to explain, synthesise and evaluate, as well as the development of your communication, organisational and IT skills.  You should focus on what you have learned and the skills you have developed.

15 The rubric (assessment criteria)  Criterion A: Organisational, Communication and ICT Skills  Criterion B: Project Selection  Criterion C: Selection of Sources  Criterion D: Application of Information  Criterion E: Final Presentation of Written Project Report
