NOTE:
This was originally made for a school running the IB MYP, hence why the standards for MYP are listed in the project booklet - however, this can be adapted for KS2/KS3/K-12 etc.

The project was run in a ‘paper-free’ school, meaning that the students completed it on devices. If you are printing it as booklets please ensure to edit the document to create enough space for resposnes from students.
