Personal Passion Project (PPP)

Well CALM, this is the title of the very last project we worked on together. We based this project on an outcome from the first unit that was your very own personal passion (how exciting!). All of you had approved topics therefore there is no need to go over the outcomes.

You must include with this project:
1. cited sources (in a way that makes sense to you and that I can understand) - avoid wikipedia!
2. an assessment tool (some way I can evaluate you - made by you and typed up) it could be a checklist of things or a rubric (as shown in class).
3. professionally presented (you must find a time to present your project to me if you missed the presentation day).

Please see the following project outline sheet if you have any more questions!

Design Your Own Project

Based on Health Improvements or Interests

Goal: To use the course objectives to analyze one subject of personal health in more detail, according to my own interests and/or needs.

How? Find an objective that relates to your area of interest. Create a project proposal (can be very brief) about what you intend to investigate and submit it to Cali during the class period for approval.

Then create a way that it can be marked or measured – an assessment tool (this may be a checklist or a rubric) based on what objective you are working on.

Specifications: Based on how hard you work this project will be due on either Friday October 14^th or Monday October 17^th. You may choose to work alone or with ONE other person. If you work with a partner all the work must be split evenly. The project can be submitted in any form that you wish (video, blog, powerpoint, poster, essay, Prezi presentation, etc.).

IMPORTANT: any research you do should be cited (meaning you give credit to others work by putting the title/author/website properly in brackets at the end of a sentence, putting things in quotations or creating a list of references at the end).

Project Example:

P:13 Investigate how science, technology and media affects wellness, specifically explaining the media role and influence of personal emotional/spiritual investigation.

Proposal: To investigate the current images of the female body and examine the link of changing images and ideals of female beauty and the rise of eating disorders. Central question: Is the “ideal feminine beauty” of the ‘size zero’ in every type of media and how does that impact women and girls body image?
