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.
