Step 1:
Now that you have created your product/outcome and reflected and documented each step of the personal project inquiry cycle, you now need to transfer this information to your personal project report. This is a formal piece of writing that provides a report on the completion of your personal project. The word count is 1500 words to 3500 words.
Using your personal project report graphic organiser you need to respond to each heading using the information you have gathered in your process journal.
