Personal Learning Booklet Name:___________Topic_______________
Complete this booklet fully to guide your Personal Learning Project in Term 3. Presentations are due in the last week of term. The schedule will be available for bookings two weeks prior to this. Students can pair up but will be assessed individually and must complete their own Personal Learning Booklet. All pairings must be agreed upon by Craig. Some pairings may not be accepted if students have not demonstrated the ability to carry their fair share of the work, focus with others around and negotiate effectively with a partner. All students must research their topic of choice using the booklet as a guide. The booklet has important timings in it. Follow it and everything will be alright! If you need any resources, write a note to Karen, Laura, your parents or I asking politely if we can get what you need ( we'll try our best to support you but cannot guarantee we'll be able to get it). You may work on your PL at home, or in school when ever you have some free time. You will have Monday afternoons to work exclusively on your PL. Parents are encouraged to enhance thinking, provide direction, resources and friendly nudges where required. You MUST have your PL booklet at school to be working on your Personal Learning. If you forget it, please read or draw quietly at your desk during PL time on a Monday afternoon. Re-member, Personal Learning doesn't help you push your limits, it redefines them. Good Luck! Craig Murphy
