8th Grade MYP IB

Service Project Work Day The Grade 8 Community Project is a major activity for students to complete in year three

(8th grade) of the MYP program at Campbell Middle School. Since Campbell has been author-

ized to offer the program in three years and not partner with a high school, the IBO now re-

quires a community project for 8th graders.

The community project focuses on community and service and gives students an opportunity

to develop awareness of needs in various communities and address those needs through service

learning. As a consolidation of learning, the community project engages in a sustained, in-depth

inquiry leading to service as action in the community. The community project is completed

individually or in groups. The choice of the topic for the project is made in consultation with a

teacher who has the responsibility for supervising the development of the project according to

the Assessment Criteria which is based on International Baccalaureate Organization guidelines.

The aims of MYP projects are to encourage and enable students to:

* participate in a sustained, self-directed inquiry within a global context

* generate creative new insights and develop deeper understandings through in-depth

investigation

* demonstrate the skills, attitudes and knowledge required to complete a project over an

extended period of time

* communicate effectively in a variety of situations

* demonstrate responsible action through, or as a result of, learning

* appreciate the process of learning and take pride in their accomplishments

Campbell Middle School 8th Graders are taking the steps necessary to make our world a bet-

ter place with their projects, as they identify with a topic they are passionate about. Great

things are happening at Campbell Middle School!

Day in the Life:

CMS Students
