Sample Personal Project from the IBO
Project Title: “The Forest Dwellers”
Background Information-
The student’s main goal was to educate and sensitize the public regarding the delicate situation of the indigenous people of Sri Lanka, through a newspaper article. Coming from an ethnic minority himself, the student was aware that this group of people were fast disappearing along with their traditions and heritage. The student felt that a newspaper article was the best form of media to use to deliver his message in order to raise awareness and understanding and ultimately help the plight of the Wanniyalatto (or Vedda) society. The area of interaction chosen as a focus is community and service, as the student’s goal is to create a social awareness of how we live in relation to tribal peoples. The student consulted a variety of resources to inspire the article, the main focus of which was an interview with the Wanniyalatto chieftain. The page numbers referred to in the assessment comments are those found at the end of pages in the student report. |
