IB EXHIBITION
IB Exhibition is an extended, collaborative project where students conduct an in-depth inquiry into real life issues or problems.
This Monday, students will be given a folder with the Exhibition timeline as well as other necessary information. Each student will list his/her top three choices. By the end of this week, students will be placed into groups of three or four. Next week, students will begin creating their key concept questions, and research will begin the first week of February. Of course, all of this information and more can be found in students' folders.
