The article I just read was about Emily born and why missing genius hour upset her. She was sad because in genius hour, you can choose your own topic to learn and research instead of a teacher assigning a research project. The article also explains where genius hour came from. Its origin was from Googles 20 time. This is where Google employees can spend 20% of there time on a project of there own liking. Its nickname is 20 time. The most important aspect of this article is when it explains that with genius hour, you are aloud to fail. They want to make it clear it is okay to fail and if you do, learning from that failure is all they ask from you. Students are in today's world are all about standardized tests and the teachers just wanted to give an opportunity to students on what they want learn. Towards the end of the article they talk about creating an idea is the most difficult task of genius hour. The teachers make sure to help out the students and provide them with examples and ideas. The article ends by saying that there is not a lot of freedom in education and teachers want to give students the time to learn about there own interests.

My plan for the next few months is to create a small booklet of how to eat before a sporting event. I play soccer but I will use other sport examples as well. Anyways this booklet will consist of a title page, tips of what to eat, some different meals, my experiences with good/bad eating habits, and a picture page. Most pages will consist of both words and pictures and will be around 8 pages. My plan for now is to start organizing photos and meal ideas to put into the booklet. This project will not be easy to create and will take sometime to accomplish this task. To make sure this project will be accomplished on time is to get as much done on Friday's as possible. If you have any questions please email me at [email protected]
