Genius Hour

Well, within reason...

Yep. All you have to do is question, research, and create.

Hmm...only you can determine whether or not your passion is worth anything. Are you willing to make the world awesome?

Your project must first be approved by me. See Where do I begin? steps below.

Your project must be researched. Consider your research question. If you can find the answer with one hit on Google, then it's not really research.

You must present and share. If you make a book trailer, you will show your trailer. If you make a book, you will read your book. If you tear apart a machine, you will share what you discovered. It may be in front of the class, in small groups, to another class, to the world...

Think about what you want to explore. What have you always wondered about? Where have you dreamed of seeing one day? What would you like to get better at? Still don't know? Check out Chris Kesler's class list. Just scroll down a bit to see what they have explored. Complete this form.

As you learn about your passion, document your process of learning. Note your genius hour progress by filling out this exit slip.

Think about how you want to share your passion. How will you make the world AWESOME? Will it be with a web site, a video, blog, play...? Or perhaps through a song, poem, art work, dance, photo...? Whatever you choose, make it yours and be proud of your genius.
