The Middle Years Program Personal Project is drawing to a close... To this point I have completed the major portion of the kombucha brewing process. Left for me to do is to finish the flavouring and second fermentation steps. This entry's purpose is to take a look back at the work done up to this point.
Thinking Skills Growth
The biggest impact this project has had on me is on my time management. Before, my approach to having work done was with the expectation of having a clear due date as well as clear instructions on how to complete the assignment. The Personal Project helped me to learn to look farther ahead; to have my work completed ahead of time even if the due date is indeterminate. Additionally, it helped to grow my Critical Thinking and Organization skills as I the evaluated the Criterion and instructions to determine what exactly was expected of the final product and process journal entries.
Reflection
The work up til now has mostly been disorganized and as a result, were turned in late. Despite this, I have learned to have a clear goal and plan developed before beginning the project in any capacity (research, implementation of the plan of action, etc.) The project itself has also taught me about the various chemical processes of the natural world. It has broadened my scope, especially as an International Baccalaureate learner, and allowed my global context to extend as such; many of the items we use everyday are the result of complex physical and chemical processes that allow us to use them the way we do.
