The action plan is a formal document which breaks down the project work into a chronological listing of the steps needed to complete the project (timeline) and a list of the evidence the student will collect to demonstrate each step has been met.  The action plan is used to monitor the student’s progress.  Any changes to the plan must be made with the approval of the teacher/advisor. The action plan does not serve the same purpose as the journal.  The action plan looks forward to what must be done; the journal documents what has been done.

• A list of evidence that can be used as proof of the completion of each step.
