The 3 Parts
of the independent Study final
Final Quarter < May be called Inquiry Unit >
1. The “sketch book”
1.
The sketch book records your every-day journal type entries.
These are discoveries or comments that are noted
as written entries.
2. The sketch book records your investigation
or research notes.
Use the research data record forms.
3. The sketch book should also include all of the various teacher hand
out sheets.
4. The sketch book records your thumbnail sketches
and concept design plans.
The sketch book records your progress journal (keep
a record in an informal way.) The sketch book/notebook should not be left
until the end of the quarter to work on. This defeats its useful purpose.
