Description

Are you looking for a way to increase student engagement and motivation? Try PASSION PROJECTS! This step-by-step guide includes everything you need to introduce Passion Projects during a weekly Genius Hour in your classroom. This Print and Go resource allows your students to participate in an authentic Project-Based Learning experience.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

This curriculum includes 7 detailed lesson plans, checklists, planning pages, 2 PowerPoint presentations, rubrics, reflection pages, handouts and graphic organizers for each lesson, editable PowerPoint copies of most of the graphic organizers, rubrics, and support materials for the teacher.

Note: The 7 lessons may take more than a week to complete, especially if this is your students’ first Passion Project because you are also teaching the Process of Completing a Passion Project. Subsequent Passion Projects should not take as long.

LESSONS:

Each lesson will take your students step by step through the process.

  • Lesson 1: Discover Your Passion
  • Lesson 2: Introduction to Passion Projects and Burning Questions
  • Lesson 3: Resources, Products, and Audiences
  • Lesson 4: The Passion Project Proposal
  • Lesson 5: Researching and Taking Notes
