Here are just a few ideas of what you might expect to see in your Process Journal during this stage:
- Regular entries stating what you have done while creating the product (screen shots showing the progress would be very useful)
- Documenting sources used (especially any new ones since Select the Sources)
- Documenting problems you have faced and how you have tried to solve them.
- Documenting any plans to show your time management (as you did in Technology classes)
- Any testing you have done on the product, any feedback surveys, interviews etc.
Step 1:
Create a product/outcome in response to the goal, context and criteria
Here is the part of your personal project where you place your investigation and planning into action.
In your process journal you need to ensure you document the creation of your product/outcome. You need to ensure you take regular photographs and annotate these in your process journal.

Step 2:
Demonstrate thinking skills
As you progress through creating your product/outcome you need to document the following:
- Problems you encountered and how you critically and creatively solved these problems
- How you have transferred and applied information to make decisions when creating your product/outcome....how have you applied this research to your product/outcome?)
- Skills you developed as you created your product/outcome
- How your prior-learning informed the creation of your product/outcome
- How your knowledge and skills have grown throughout the creation of your product/outcome
- How have you designed improvements (testing and feedback)
Step 3:
Demonstrate communication and social skills
As you progress through creating your product/outcome you need to document the following:
- Communication with experts and how their advice informed the creation of your product/outcome (make sure you document communication as evidence)
- Communication with your supervisor and how their feedback informed the completion of your Personal Project (evidence such as emails, Skype recordings etc)
- How you have read a variety of sources for information on your personal project
- How you have transferred information given through communication to your product/outcome
- How you have made inferences and drawn conclusions.
