Rate your genius hour effort from 1 to 10 (with 10 being superior and 1 being minimal). Explain the reasoning for your score? I rate my Genius hour effort with a 10. I rate it this way because I feel like I tried as hard as I could on this project with the topic I chose. I put a lot of time and effort into making the website design as appealing as possible and also put a lot of work into taking the pictures that I put onto the website. Explain why/why not you think Genius Hour is a good use of your time in English Language Arts?
I think that Genius Hour is not a good use of my time in English class. I think the way it is being done goes against the whole reason it was created in the first place. Genius Hour was created to let kids be able to explore and learn and focus on something THEY WANT in the school setting. Many kids would rather read SSR during English class. I am one of them. Instead of forcing kids to read SSR they are now being forced to do Genius Hour which is the exact same way it was to begin with. Genius Hour is not making the English Class time any different. Students are still being forced to do something; it is just a different thing. Genius Hour would be better if students had the option to choose: SSR or Genius Hour. If it was done that way it would be more effective and make education more enjoyable instead of being shoved down our throats. Sir Ken Robinson believed kids should be able to explore what they want in education, and some students want to explore SSR. Genius Hour would be a good OPTION for kids who preferred to do that, but SSR should still be an option for kids. what is your step by step plan to complete your genius hour project? There is not really much I need to do to complete my Genius hour project. There are really only three steps needed as my project is a project that can go on forever as more pictures are taken.
I would say the steps are: 1) Take more pictures 2) Upload the pictures to my photo album page 3) Repeat steps one and two until the project deadline is met There is no specific time that I need to do these steps, just whenever I see something photogenic. I would just plan to take as many pictures as possible and upload them whenever I get the chance. |
