Genius Time

What is it?Time each class period to explore a fascination.Chase a dream.Crank up the brain cells.Create something uniquely yours.

Has Mr. Marc lost it already?

Blame Google, as it is based on their 20% time concept.Puts each of you in charge of your learning experience.Who knows it may just ignite a lifetime passion.

The DetailsCome up with a project involving anything that interests you and gain approval of a parental unit and myself.

Develop a step by step process.

Stay on task with project.

Keep a progress journal (audio, video, or written).

Regular update checks with your benevolent dictator (me!)

Present a 5 min. "Talk" with any necessary props at the end of the year to the entire 6th grade.

The Best Part......The project is NOT GRADED!!!Only your daily effort will be recorded.HOWEVER....this places all responsibility on youThat means you control your education/learning!
