DESCRIBE HOW YOU PLAN TO USE YOUR TIME DURING THE LAST MONTH OF SCHOOL TO MEET THE GOAL YOU'VE SET FOR YOURSELF FOR YOUR GENIUS HOUR. WHAT CAN MRS. SUTTON DO TO HELP YOU MEET YOUR GOAL?During the last month of school, I will be attempting to attend some SAY soccer games for little kids and even helping with their practices to get ideas for our little summer camp. I will also be striving to get the word out by email and posters. Much planing will be needed as simple as this task will be in order to always to have a back up plan for the "practices". The camp will only go on depending on the number of kids signed up. And it will be understandable because of the ongoing of SAY soccer leagues. I believe if we stick to this idea and carry through with all the necessary steps provided by Mrs. Sutton we will be able to achieve our goal.

Recently, Many of you have noticed several new "views" to your weebly pages. How does this change/not change the way you feel about the content on your page? Explain. Then express how you plan to both improve your page and further the work on your genius hour project in the weeks to come.I believe the changes made have been good, there is more of a sophisticated look given to the page and it looks well updated. There are more improvements that could be made to my page, but it is still in undergoing the process. My genius hour project needs work, including informing people about it. But there are still much time to do so. I believe my project is still at a good stage as of now.
DESCRIBE THE AUTHOR'S INTERPRETATION OF GENIUS AND HOW IT DIFFERS FROM CONVENTIONAL DEFINITIONS OF GENIUS. WHAT ARE THE SHARED STRATEGIES OF GENIUSES? HOW DOES YOUR GENIUS HOUR PROJECT ENCOURAGE YOU TO USE SOME OF THESE STRATEGIES? The author of this article described a genius as not only a person with high grade level and IQ's but a person who is able to think differently and more creatively. His definition of a genius is unlike others, his definition is that a genius is a person who is able to think critically, and make decisions while under pressure. Critical and creative thinking is the most important aspect when it comes to being a 'genius'.
HOW DID YOU WORK OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS TO ADDRESS THE FIVE STEP PLAN YOU LAID OUT IN BLOG POST #6? IF YOU HAVEN’T MADE PROGRESS, EXPLAIN WHY. BE ACCOUNTABLE. EXPLAIN HOW YOU WILL MAKE THE PROGRESS YOU NEED TO MAKE.The only progress I've made is mentioning my idea to one of the people in charge of the soccer fields, he is a family friend and has two of his own grandchildren and he thought it was a great idea. I will gradually and continually make progress, but that is the only step I've taken in really putting this idea into action.
What is your 5 step plan to meet your genius hour goal by May 6th?My 5 step plan in order to achieve this goal will include:
1.) While waiting for summer to roll around and the nice weather to come, I will use that time to start researching effective drills and finding field schedules to which the fields will be available. 2.) I will start to advertise the "camp" and inform the people early in order to confirm that we will have enough attenders. 3.) I will continue to keep my blog updated in order for parents and guardians to stay informed. 4.)I will gather equipment (cones and soccer balls) that will be essential for most drills done at the camp. 5.) Lastly we will confirm our plans and discuss the outcomes if all goes well with getting enough kids to join. I enjoy the teaching aspect the most because soccer is one of my favorite sports. By being able to teach other's about soccer will be a great opportunity not only for me but for the kids because they are going to be able to get a good active work out and also an education or better understanding of soccer.
Which aspect do you enjoy the least?The aspect I enjoy the least about my project is probably going to be advertisement. We will have to use different methods or forms of it such as posts online, and even flyers.
Robinson is basically saying that the school system is an education death valley. I believe it does relate to genius hour because genius hour involves technology and makes students interested in learning because it is all about their choice on what to do their project on. I believe with Robinson's views because all school systems should keep in new and refreshing by adding and switching their learning styles in order to keep the students involved and interested.
After taking place in the marking period, I would agree with this teaching style because it gives students the choice to get involved with whatever they choose. It gives them goals to reach in order to accomplish what they want. It also teaches them the different ways of learning.
The biggest obstacle that I believe will occur would be not only getting the word out about our project but having people give us the chance to do so. In order to over come this obstacle I plan to not only hang flyers and give out hand outs, but I would also talk to as many people as I could in person to really let them know how seriously this project would be taken and to really give the people the true feels of it all.
