MARCHAPRILENTERTAINMENTQUESTIONS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL PROJECT: GRADE 10S RESULTS
What challenges did you face?
Managing my time was definitely one of the most difficult things throughout the individual project. When everything iscompletely up to yourself, it's hard to know what to prioritize.
Staying focused and motivated.
I believe my motivation gradually decreased and I lacked time management skills through out the project.
Managing my time, and staying on track with my progress.
What went well?
Overall, the product came out well and I did have a lot of fun spending time on
something that was completely my choice.
The exhibition was fun and I was very proud of myself for being able toshow off what I have been working on for the past few months.
What improvements were you able make through this project?
I know that I have a much better understanding of my own interests and I definitely became much better at writingreflections. I'm aware that that is one of the key parts of the IB, so I'm glad to have done the individual project.
I was able to learn some expectations for the time management skills that I need in the future when I enter IB.
My own motivation to do the project. After I began working on my project after a long period of time without thinking aboutit, I felt more motivated to get it done.
What are things you would change if you could do the project again?
If I could do the project again, I think I would've chosen a different topic. I made a documentary on bees, but throughout thetime period I had to work with, the bees were not active at all. I feel that I should have chosen a topic where I could get a more
active story.
I would change the process I took and my product and try to make it more entertaining for myself.
I will definitely not underestimate the time it will take for my product to be completed.
I would change my product, because I lost interest in it early on. I would recommend taking more time to think about aproduct that you know you will enjoy making for the entire year.

SNACK REVIEW ASA
Thomas - Black Thunder Caramel Squares
The smell is faint, but the taste is stronger than anticipated. The texture was niceand smooth yet bumpy, and the aftertaste was nice and chocolaty. The taste itself
was good, with a hint of caramel and nougat.

Maria - cheese stick thingies
Some people love cheese, some hate it, and there’s no in between. The cheesesticks weren’t the nastiest thing I’ve ever tasted, but it also wasn’t the mostappetizing delicacy ever. They smelled like a mixture of pee and sulfur, but tastedfine. After smelling the snack first, I had relatively low expectations, but I wasquite pleased after tasting it.

COACHELLA Written by Mari B.
Coachella- an annual and music arts festival featuring various music artists
was held through mid to end of April. Over 250,000 people attended thewidely popular music festival, and there were many impactful andsurprising moments from this year's Coachella. To start off, Bad Bunny
was the first Latin music artist to ever headline Coachella. Zendaya also
surprisingly performed her first live performance in seven years, alongsideLabrinth. BLACKPINK also made history by being Coachella’s first ever
K-pop act, stealing headlines and making their act one of the most notable
Coachella performances this year. Various artists such as Frank Ocean andHarry Styles also performed unreleased and never heard before music.

SPACEX STARSHIP EXPLOSION Written by Megumi. B
On April 20, SpaceX’s newest rocket, Starship, exploded only four minutes afterlaunch. 120 meters tall, it is said to be the largest and most powerful launch vehicle
ever flown. Fortunately, there were no crew onboard. Soon after the explosion, theFAA (Federal Aviation Administration) launched an investigation. There were noreports of injuries, nor were there any reports of any private property damage.
However, it was found that there was a large amount of sand- and ash-likeparticulate matter as well as debris that spread miles beyond the launchpad. This
has led to the disapproval by environmental advocates who worry that the debris
could be harmful to local residents and wildlife, especially the endangered species
in the area. Still, many consider this event to have been a “successful failure”,
claiming that although the launch wasn’t 100% successful, Starship managed toreach its primary goal of collecting data and identifying potential errors for future
launches. Recent reports have also been made that claim Musk, Space X’s CEOand founder, lost close to $12 billion dollars due to the failed launch.
