Genius Hour
Unlock your Geniusness
A Pep Talk from Kid President to You
Genius Hour Intro
Are you for Real?
I CAN EXPLORE ANYTHING?
Well, within reason.
YOU'RE PLAYIN...AN HOUR A WEEK?
Yep. All you have to do is question, research, and create.
YEAH. IT'S PROBABLY GRADED.
Hmm...only you can determine whether or not your passion is worth anything. Are you willing to make the world awesome?
WHAT ARE THE RULES?
RULE #1
Your project must be approved by Ms. Hanson.
RULE #2
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.
RULE #3
You must present and share. It may be in front of the class, in small groups, to another class, to the world...
HOW DO I BEGIN?
BRAINSTORM
Think about what you want to explore. What have you always wondered about? What place have you dreamed of seeing one day? What would you like to get better at? Still don't know? Ask your teacher for a list of suggestions.
RESEARCH AND TRACK
As you learn about your passion, document your process of learning. Your teachers will give you graphic organizers to help you move forward.
CREATE & SHARE
Think about how you want to share your passion. How will you make the world AWESOME? Whatever you choose, make it yours and BE PROUD OF YOUR GENIUS.
