What We Did Today

At the beginning of class, we looked at the Morris Wars Blog. We saw the newspaper that was finally published and information on their “passion project”. Then we wrote down criteria on how we should share our genius hour projects to the Australians. After we went to the computer lab to start writing information on our genius hour sitting with our partner(s).

Why We Did It

I thought that we’re sharing our genius hour projects because this will help us get a different opinion on our projects. It’s important to get a variety of feedback on our projects. Another reason is because the Australians shared their projects with us.

Reflections

This skill may help us in the future by knowing how to ask for specific feedback, as well as how to explain in detail what you’re doing. If you were to ask someone to provide feedback for an assignment, they wouldn’t know what to help you with specifically. Or if you had to explain an assignment/project to someone, it would become confusing to the person if it was not explain thoroughly. It is important to add as much detail as possible when it comes to explaining something to someone, especial if there far away and can’t see your work in person.

Homework

We weren’t assigned any homework because Ms.Lees wants us to work on our genius hour projects as much as possible. We will be given time to work on the on Wednesday and Friday of this week.

Also our novels are to be done by this Wednesday, so start reading.

Homework Tips

Don’t forget to log your process for your genius hour projects; it will count as a portion of your mark. It is important to include challenges and how they were solved in your logs, also to show how much work you’ve done in one block.

As far as I know we will be doing an activity based on our novels, so don’t just skip through the whole thing and say you’re finished.
