Reply To: Year 7 IB MYP Community Day/ Project

[Ruth Participant]

I am wondering whether anyone has run the Community Project in Year 3 of MYP over a longer period of time (8 months) using FOSIL as a frame. We have been running the Community Project for a number of years with very mixed outcomes both in terms of the action the students carry out out the skills I feel they are learning. This is not part of my remit but I do have a very good relationship with the MYP co-coordinator and the Assistant Head involved and I would like to suggest the radical new approach of hanging the whole project on FOSIL rather than on the Investigate, Plan, Act Reflect phases of the IB but since we have to mark the work according to that scheme I would need to track back to this for staff.

I wondered if anyone else has done this already or is working on something similar at the moment?

Thanks,

Ruth
