Examples of Personal Projects under this global context:

Project A:

Goal: To design and create a collage jigsaw puzzle that reflects my family history.

Rationale for global context: The focus of the jigsaw puzzle is on personal histories because I will be exploring my family's history and I will be reflecting their story in my product.

Project B:

Goal: To create a comic strip that shows how past explorers searched for a new world and to show immigration throughout history.

Rationale for global context: The focus of the comic strip is on explorations and migrations of humankind and will touch on the interconnectedness of civilizations because I will be looking at how various explorers discovered new countries and how people from different parts of the world have moved around.
