Grade 5 Personal Project Mini Planner

The Grade 5 Personal Project Mini Planner is a structured worksheet that guides students through the process of designing and executing a personal inquiry project by prompting them to define their topic, central idea, lines of inquiry, transdisciplinary skills, learner profile attributes, and attitudes, as well as to explain their motivations and plan both formative and summative assessments. This resource is particularly valuable for teachers because it scaffolds complex, student-driven projects into manageable steps, encourages reflection and ownership, and supports the development of executive function skills such as planning, organization, and self-assessment, all while aligning with best practices in inquiry-based and project-based learning.
