What do we DO during Genius Hour?We read, read, then read some more. For the first three quarters of the school year, Genius Hour is a time to read, reflect on our reading, and keep track (somehow - journal, blog, on a bulletin board, etc.) of what we wonder, what we'd like to learn more about, and what really bothers us. We will be keeping our eyes open as we read for inspiration. Fourth quarter, we'll take something that inspired us from any of our books and run with it - developing an essential question and following through answering it. This will culminate in a presentation at the end of the year, showing what we've learned.
Below, you'll find ideas for what you COULD possibly do for the fourth quarter project. Keep your mind open, and know yourself before you decide to dive into an idea. Let's chat about it after you browse through some of these! |
