Steps Involved- IRP 3 1. Idea 2. Research 3. Plan 4. Prepare 5. Present
Idea Brainstorm as a class or with your family ideas that you think you would like to explore. Think about things that may be personal to you or that you feel strongly about. Pick that idea and move on to Step 2.
Research Go online and find out as much as you can about your topic. Keep a folder with notes or articles that you have copied on your topic. Try to narrow down your search (ie. Senior Citizenspeople who live in nursing homeswomen who live in nursing homes).
Plan Design your plan. Come up with several ideas because some may not be possible to accomplish. Choose a range (ie. Something you can do at home by yourself or something you can do at home with friends or something you can do by yourself at an outside location, or something you can do at an outside location with friends, etc. )
Prepare Keep a log (see attached) of at home hours spent researching, volunteering, interviewing, and working on the project. You need at least 10 hours over the next 6 months. Work on the Project Teamwork Plan, Presentation Plan form, and Presentation Day Checklist with your group-mates.
