“My Personal Project” Template

The “My Personal Project” template is a student-centered organizer that guides learners through planning, researching, and presenting an independent inquiry project. It prompts students to choose a topic, explain their motivation, craft a central question, decide how to showcase their learning, develop research questions using key inquiry concepts, take research notes with source citations, and build academic vocabulary. This template fosters inquiry-based learning, encourages student choice and ownership, and supports the development of research, critical thinking, and language skills. Its adaptable structure works across all subject areas, provides a clear and manageable framework for both students and teachers, and helps scaffold the entire inquiry process, making project-based learning more accessible and effective in the classroom.
