1. The Investigation sections (the first 'written' part)
2. Researching
3. Global Contexts
Work with your Project Supervisor on your sources and the Investigation write-up
1. Investigation
Key points:
2. Build up to the goal, some background to the topic
3. Clearly state the goal (My goal is to…..) and how it fits into the chosen Global Context
4. State how and why the goal is highly challenging.
5. Identify the key questions that need to answered
6. Identify sources (primary and secondary) and show excellent research skills. Give excellent examples of your research that demonstrate your research skills(from your Process Journal entries)
- Due date Monday 2nd November 2015
- 900- 1000 words (it is OK to go over the word count at this stage, but no more than 1200)
- All sources and meetings etc are recorded in the Process Journal section on MB
- Here is the suggested format for this section:

2. Researching
Ms Bond kindly went though looking at valid sources and citing them correctly using in-text citations. Recording the sources can be done through NoodleTools and EasyBib.
Key points:
http://iicspersonalproject.weebly.com/research.html
Key points:
- You should use a variety of sources (primary (interviews, surveys, books, academic papers, video etc)
- Evaluate each source...think about how you do this in your other lessons
- Record each source evaluated and what it gives to your project in the Process Journal on ManageBac
- Anything can be cited, if you are not sure please Ms Bond.

Global Contexts
You project must link to one of the Global Contexts. You need to state very carefully how your project fits a Global Context.
The Global Contexts are:

The Global Contexts are:
- Identities and Relationships
- Personal and cultural expression
- Globalisation and Sustainability
- Scientific and technical innovation
- Fairness and development
- Personal and cultural expression
