Genius hour is a movement that allows students to explore their own passions and encourages creativity in the classroom. First, I challenged students to explore something they want to learn about. They will spend several weeks researching the chosen topic before they start creating a product that will be shared with the class/school/world. Deadlines are limited and creativity is encouraged. Throughout the process I facilitate the student projects to ensure that they are on task. Before beginning GENIUS HOUR I showed the class this video...
After showing this video I gave the student a list of topics in history they could choose to research. Students were not limited to these topics-if they were interested in another topic in history I allowed them to research this topic as long as they could have enough research to present to the class.
Here are a few pictures of the students starting to work
