To do for new students

1. To
Do
by
Sept.
10th
for
New
Students
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!
