PYP Exhibition Guidelines

The exhibition holds a place of special importance in the PYP, and you will be
working on it for some time. Participating in the exhibition will demonstrate your
learning in the PYP. The exhibition will involve others (for example, you may work in
a small group or become involved with an organization outside the school), and your
participation and your work will be assessed. Your teacher will assess your planning
and learning, including your reflections, the methods you use, the way you link your
exhibition to the transdisciplinary themes and any forms of action that you engage in
as a result. Your teacher or mentor will share with you the criteria for this
assessment.
The development of the exhibition may include the following stages:
1. Discussing possible real-life issues or problems to be investigated
Issues could be directly connected to your school or local area, and they
may also be relevant to children in other parts of the world. In your group,
consider everyone's ideas carefully before making a final decision.
 Who? First individually and then maybe in small groups, brainstorm issues
that could be investigated and think about what issues you might be
passionate about taking on.
 What? Identifying issues around the world.
 When? Beginning now
 Where? Looking at your personal life, in the community, the city, the country
and in the world.
 Why? By discussing possible issues and finding significant ones to tackle
 How? By being open-minded to listen to others’ suggestions, by being
observant and by reflecting on your thoughts

2. Posing questions that help to define the central idea and to decide upon the
lines of inquiry:
When the issue has been selected, you will need to have a basic
understanding of the issue and be able to explain why it is important in order to
investigate it in more depth. You could explore the issue further by:
 discuss your ideas with different people, both inside and outside school
 visiting a local site
 identify and looking at available resources
 consider how the issue connects to the transdisciplinary themes.
Once you have a better understanding of the issue, develop a central idea to
explain the significance of your inquiry. Thinking about PYP concepts (form,
function, causation, change, connection, perspective, responsibility and
reflection) that are related to this issue could help you construct questions to
guide your inquiries. It is useful to identify the lines of inquiry you will follow in

PYP Exhibition 2019-2020

Hope Christian High School PYPX 1920

order to explore your questions and develop your understanding of the central
idea. The central idea, lines of inquiry and questions will help you to stay focused
during this investigation and help you find out about your exhibition issue.
 Who? You, your group, speaking with your parents, visiting outside
organizations
 What? Asking question, investigating
 When? After you picked an issue you are interested in
 Where? Inside school - books, magazines, newspapers, people; outside
school—public library, places related/relevant to the issue you are interested
in
 Why? To know more about your issue, to understand it so that you can
present it to teach your audience about your issue, you need to be and try to
make a difference
 How? Asking questions and then find answers

3. Planning the exhibition

Write down ideas for how you will explore and develop your understanding of
your central idea and questions within the defined of inquiry.

In your group, ask questions such as:

 Where do we find the materials and resources we need?
 Who might have useful information?
 What kind of experiences might inform our inquiries?
 Do we need to carry out any experiments?
 Do we need to prepare a questionnaire or survey?
 What kind of technology will we need to have access to?
Choose sources and resource materials carefully; by looking at a variety of
different sources, you can improve the quality of your exhibition. When you have
found a source of information, it is important to consider the possible bias of this
information and how useful it is going to be.
 Who? Students, teachers, mentors and parents
 What? To think about the tasks that need to be done, plan a timeline so that
you know what needs to be done by a certain date
 When? Starting now, more at the beginning and revisiting plans and make
changes along the way
 Where? At home, with your group at school, and by yourself
 Why? So that you know what you have to do to prepare for your exhibition
and so that the whole task becomes more manageable
 How? Continue to revisit issues and to ask questions

4. Gathering the necessary material

Always write down the sources of your material. This information will vary
according to the type of source consulted.

PYP Exhibition 2019-2020

Hope Christian High School PYPX 1920

 A printed text: record the author(s), title, publisher and date of publication
 A website: record the website address
(e.g. http://www.un.org/Pubs/CyberSchoolBus/index.html)
 An interview: record the name, address, role of the person and date of the
interview
 An experiment: record the equipment and method used, the results and
conclusions
 A work of art: record the title, artist and reference (museum, recording) if
appropriate

 Who? All students

 What? Create a bibliography of primary and secondary resources
 When? On a daily basis and whenever you have collected information from
different sources
 Where? Keep everything in one spot, create a bibliography
 Why? Important to reference and acknowledge other people s ideas
 How? See guidelines on how to create a bibliography

5. Recording and reflecting

Making regular entries in a journal of all your ideas, decisions and actions to
record your progress as you work on the exhibition can clearly show the work you
have been engaged in as well as how your understanding of the issue is
developing. It should be filled in regularly to show you how your exhibition is
progressing. A journal can also be used to show your mentor the progress being
made. These reflections should be supported by recorded evidence of the
process. This evidence could include photographic and video evidence, interview
notes, feedback and comments from your peers, teachers and/or mentors and
parents.
 Who? Individual students
 What? Record ideas and thoughts, and reflect on your own thinking
 When? Regularly, throughout the whole process
 Where? In class, in school, at home, whenever you work on any part of the
exhibition
 Why? To have a record of your work, show your thinking process and
progress, and to reflect on your feelings
 How? Written, typed or video reflection

6. Presenting the Exhibition

Towards the end of exhibition, you will need to think carefully about how you
wish to present the results of your inquiries. You must always consider your
presentation from other people’s perspectives.
 Be informed about the material you choose to present. You will need to be
able to answer any questions about it confidently

PYP Exhibition 2019-2020

Hope Christian High School PYPX 1920

 Discuss the presentation with your teacher and/or your mentor before you
start working on it
 Use diagrams, drawings and/or photographs to add to the clarity of your
presentation
 Look at the examples of exhibitions that other students have done in your
school in the past. In particular, the formats they have used to present their
ideas.
 Make sure your presentation is clear, informative and appropriate for a range
of audiences
