UISG MYP Special Features Personal Project Showcase 2015 | Page 31

Si Wei (Chloe) Chen
I am Chloe Chen in 10Z. I was born in Foshan, China and I have been in
the IB program for about 2 years. From the personal project, I have improved my research skills by using various research methods to gain information. Also, I think I have better time management skills than before because I learnt how to organize my time during the process.
For my product, I produced a tourist guidebook of Foshan. The main reason why I chose it as my final product is that I want more people to know
about my hometown and come here for a trip.
Overall, I think the personal project is a valuable experience that makes me
feel more confident about going to DP.

Shin Young (Owen) Kim
Hello! My name is Owen Kim. I am from South Korea, and this is my 5th
year in Utahloy. My hobby is playing sports, especially football and watching TV. And I am now at the stage of presenting my personal project. The
topic of my personal project is “South Korean’s perception of IB” In other
words, I am telling what South Koreans think of the IB system with supportive details. In addition, I also made a guidebook to briefly tell what IB system is. The global context for my personal project is cultural expression and
self expression. Here, my personal project is expressing me and South Korean’s culture.
I hope you enjoy the exhibition. Thank you for coming .
