One of the requirements for the MYP IB programme is to complete a Grade 10 Personal Project. This is a 6-month project that involves researching, writing, and creating a product that has individual meaning for each student. Last week was the presentation of these 100 projects by Simon and his classmates. There were projects about Qatari desert camps, the evolution of the Abaya, culturally different make-up application, DIY clothing, community development art, basketball skills. Students built remote controlled planes, wrote songs, made glass vases, presented health topics to children, trained falcons, wrote books, made photo albums, cooked international desserts, and photographed food.
Simon's project was called "The Art of Fly Fishing" and it began last summer. Simon has always been an enthusiastic fisherman but while in Nova Scotia he spent time with a family friend learning how to tie flies for fly fishing. This winter he studied the technique, wrote a research paper, and practiced making two flies: the Mickey Finn and the Minnow Muddler. Last Wednesday 200 people witnessed his display. Unfortunately, his broken finger impaired his ability to demonstrate his fly tying technique.
