Searching on Youtube, several videos explaining how to set goal for the MYP personal project are either too long or too boring. I took a risk and created something different by following the tips shared in the book, Made to Stick. On a different note, I love all the books written by Chip Heath & Dan Heath. I highly recommend this book to anyone whose job is to communicate information to different audience. When communicating anything, we should keep them: simple, unexpected, concrete, credible, emotional, stories. My instructor, Tony, has added another component, seen, using photos, images, or videos to illustrate ideas.
I believe stories are important to connect everyone with their emotions and experiences. I decided to use superheroes as main characters to talk about the importance of having a clear goal and devise and implement their action plan based on their epic goal.
Here is the video I made. There are several things I want to fix if I will make this video again. But I think the guiding principles can guide students to the right directions.

I created an EPIC goal setting graphic organizer to guide students and supervisors through the process. This process has received positive feedback from both students and supervisors. Perhaps you will find it useful too.
