Questions you may have:
Questions you may have:
Can I work with partners?
Not this time. You need to learn the process on your own first and have the time to consider your own interests.
How do I know what to do during Genius Hour time?
Use this Goal Organizer sheet to show you what you should be striving to accomplish during each week of the project.
How long do Ihave to work on this?
I’m thinking that as long as you don't choose anything really complicated, 6 weeks should be sufficient to have a great project.
Is this going to be graded?
Yes. You and I will both assess your work on this project. The two grades will be combined. Your work may be displayed for others to see.
When you say we can learn "anything," do you really mean anything?
Anything within reason, but I will be approving your topic ideas before you are allowed to get started
Do I have to present my project to the class?
Yes. You must present it in some form or fashion. If you make a documentary, then you will show your movie. If you build a model, you will present is and explain what you learned. This is about sharing passions and ideas.
