What is Genius Hour? Genius Hour means to Create. It is a chance to unleash your creativity and be able to work on something that you are passionate about. It could be a passion that you already have or a new passion that you are interested in learning more about. One of the main outcomes of this will be for you to create something through your passion. Given that you are working on your passion, it will be up to you to make sure you create something at the end of this.
What else is Genius Hour? Genius Hour is a time when students are allowed to explore topics that interest them the most. The instructional focus of Genius Hour is much more about the process of exploration than the content. Students are tasked with researching their topics of interest and teachers help guide their research more thorough questions than direct learning/content delivery. Students have the freedom to access resources and people in the building who can help with the topic they’ve chosen.
For our personalised passion project, we are doing it as a group and our project will involve sustainability and creativity. We are making a beast king Kabuki (Japanese) out of sustainable materials such as newspaper, cardboard, empty tissue rolls, glues and etc. We will make it a life-size figure and there will be two of them.
Driving Questions: How can we use sustainable materials (recycled) such as newspaper and cardboard to create are--a life-size statue?
