ISM+Forms

In ISM it is required that you keep record of all your research, planning, and progress. To keep all your records organized, we use the 6 forms that you will find at the bottom of the page.

For your process records, you must have 75 primary sources. Some examples of a primary source would be interviews, surveys, or pictures that you have taken. To document these primary sources, you use the form above.

Secondary sources are websites, encyclopedias, newspapers, pictures taken by others etc. In your process records you must have 25 secondary sources.

To show your progress, ISM uses the weekly planner form above. The weekly planner form helps you in more than one way. Not only does it help you know what you did throughout the week, but it pushes you to accomplish your goal of the week which you write at the top of the form.

Your product proposal shows the judges where you started and what you had in mind when you started your project. Later you start to realize how much you evolved with more research or how on target you were.

Every so often you have a progress check with your ISM teacher just to see how your project is coming along. To keep track of what was discussed during the meeting, this form gives questions that help guide the reader through the progress.

When you finally decide on what your topic will be, you fill out the topic submission sheet. One of the reasons you need to turn this in is because it helps the judges get a better picture of your project.
