Throughout their time in the PYP students gain expertise and understanding in the ingredients of the PYP (aka the essential elements). However, students also need a yolk, or issue, to bind the recipe together. When students mix up the issue with the essential elements the exhibition begins to take form.\n
The exhibition relies on collaboration and cooperation with friends and others. Thus, like a meal at a restaurant, the exhibition is made better when it is a shared experienced.\n\n
The exhibition requires both time and tools in order to successfully complete it (much like cooking Okonomiyaki). What tools they use, how long they take, and what they add to it is completely up to the student(s) and where their inquiry is taking them.\n\n
While cooking Okonomiyaki the waiters will often check on you to see how you are doing and if you need help or guidance cooking your meal. This role is similar to the role of the teacher, mentors, parents, and others during the process of the exhibition for the students.\n\n
Finally after a lot of work, tools, time, and support the meal or exhibition is ready to be eaten and enjoyed. \n
