So, last week's genius hour went pretty well, and the kids were super engaged and excited about it, but I think we need to focus on creating the actual questions they are going to be answering. I'm excited about that (really excited about that) but we need to get to the point where they have more than just a topic.
I looked at a really great blog about topic selection and I'm going to have to see what else there is out there. At the very least, we're going to get some "I wonder..." statements down so that they can see that a topic isn't enough. I also found this really interesting blog post about "20 Time" which is like Genius Hour to the next level (as far as I can tell).
This blog post is also super useful for the structuring of genius hour (although I'll have to make it more accessible for Grade 7)
So, anyway onward and upward with the questions.
