Does anyone have a description of the full MYP assignment?

The coordinator will reach out to the kids to notify them of the process and will host a parent meeting to discuss it early in the school year.


thanks. This is really helpful.

Thanks for this. When do they meet with the advisor? And if they don't finish the project, then it's ok? I gather this ends up just being another way for kids to have a structured way to do a big activity that they can use for college.

DP here re: BCC MYP assignment - is the intent that the MYP project be done during the year in the English class? I'm having trouble seeing how this project relates to an English curriculum. Does everyone actually do the MYP project overall during the year? What is the incentive to do it, if it is not required?

Really? Last year, for 9th grade, all the BCC summer assignments were graded.


DP. Graded like HW, not like tests.



Yeah most kids are doing the English reading or projects until the start of school, if at all.

Frankly, summer assignments need to stop.

Completing the full project is optional. The summer homework should be done.

At BCC. It's the English summer assignment, that is also, apparently, the first part of a larger project that 10th graders need to complete? Is it going to be integrated into the English grade? My daughter has no interest in doing the IB program later. DD is wondering how complex it has to be.
