As the MYP program comes to a close, it is time to start looking forward to what comes next. The Diploma Program will be a new challenge for each of these students and it is time to start preparing. We have worked all year on learning the techniques and tools that will help them be successful, but there is more than knowing what to do in being successful. Often the biggest factor is drive and interest.
One of the ways, I am to develop interest is to let the students drive. We study six books throughout the DP English program. Over the course of this week, I have introduced our students to the requirements for the DP program and a list of potential books to study (which they are welcome to add to!). From these, we have spent time discussing and preparing a program of study for the next two years. Encouraging them to explore the options and to fill in the Google form to express their interests.
