Genius Hour

We trialled GENIUS hour last term in room 10.....every Friday we had an hour to work independently on a project that WE had chosen. Some of us worked together and some of us worked on our own. We decided on what we wanted to learn about and planned our research. We had to learn how to effectively search on the internet, use books and keep a bibliography.

We presented our projects and learned a few more things in the process. Some of use did some PowerPoints and some made charts, some made models and some tried an internet based presentation.

Points to remember for next time:

use contrasting colours - use dark letters on a light background or vice versa
check our spellings
give plenty of detail so that the viewer doesn't have questions while looking at our presentations
don't use too many animations in our PowerPoints
plan our time effectively
make sure everyone in the group is working on something
try learning a new skill
think of creative ways to present
use layout and colour to enhance charts
use clear BOLD titles
