    The PYP Exhibition is the culminating project for 5th grade students in the IB Primary Years Programme. It requires students to conduct an individual or group inquiry into a real-world issue of personal interest. Over several weeks, students research their topics, apply concepts and skills learned in previous grades, and present their findings through various media. Mentors guide the students and evaluate their work based on rubrics assessing skills and attitudes. The goal is for students to demonstrate deep learning through an authentic experience that follows an inquiry process from identification of topics through final presentation.

    literacy lessons during the Exhibition time, but the
    majority of each day will be used working on
    inquiries.

    time.
    The children should use their time at home to
    research and prepare for the work in class.
    The actual work should be done in class so the
    teacher can keep track of progress.

    How Can Parents


    Help?
    Parents can:
    keep informed of the process by reading newsletters and
    attending meetings
    support and encourage their children
    provide knowledge
    help to locate resources people, places, media and information

    Celebrate with the students by attending the final presentations.

    Its the Journey More


    Than the Destination
    Exhibitions are the best way to measure
    learning, because they put the kids right in
    the midst of their learning Dennis Littky
    We assess the process more than the
    product.
    The students keep a journal throughout the
    Exhibition demonstrating how their thinking
    and goals have developed.
    This journal may include pictures, diagrams,
    poems, timelines and writing.
    The mentors keep a journal that monitors
    student progress against a timeline.

    Rubrics
    Each inquiry has four scoring rubrics that
    assesses a different aspect of the Exhibition.
    Rubric 1: Journal
    Rubric 2: Independent Oral Project
    Rubric 3: Final Multimedia Project
    Rubric 4: Collaborative work skills: (social
    skills, quality of work, and time management)

    Assessment
    Assessment of the process and end-product
    takes place at all levels.
    Children will self assess using the rubrics.
    Class teacher will use the rubrics to assess.
    Mentors will assess the group dynamics
    component of the processusing a rubric.

    The Final Grade


    There is not one final grade at the end.
    It is possible that a group scores very well
    on one rubric and not so well on another.
    The rubrics are not be averaged.
    The mentor and class teacher will each write
    a short summary of their observations.
    These summaries and the rubrics will
    constitute the final assessment.

    Something for Us All


    to Remember
    As with any inquiry there
    will be times when it
    seems that students are
    not being very productive.
    Sometimes there will be
    lot of discussion and
    thought, but this will not
    result in anything that can
    be seen.

    Something for Us All


    to Remember
    (continued)

    Students (and adults) need


    time and space to wonder
    about things and consider
    their plans.
    This is why we place so
    much emphasis on the
    journals. They will show the
    understanding of concepts
    and application of skills (i.e.,
    problem solving) more than
    the final product.
