Genius Hour in English
Learning to play the ukulele. Researching about the Bermuda Triangle. Working on new baseball pitches. Learning about black holes. Making a quilt. Organizing a fundraiser for medical research. Writing a novel. What do all of these things have in common?
They were all projects students in Miss Dannelly’s 7th grade Honors English classes did for Genius Hour! For the last 6 weeks, these students have been working on their projects every Friday in class and home as they took charge of their own learning.
