Writing Your Blog Post

By now you should have set up a blog for yourself. 

So now its time to write your first post.  Follow these instructions to create your first post on your blog...

 

1.  Click on the top right hand side that says 'New Post'.

 

2. Make up a catchy title and type this into the top section titles Post.

3.    Write a detailed summary of what you did this week in Genius Hour.

Include –

·       What you accomplished

·       What problems you had

·       What you found hardest

·       What you enjoyed most

·       Where you are up to in your project

·       What you plan on doing next week.
 

Once you are finished, you need to let me know the name of your blog so that I can start following you. 

This means that each time you add a new post, I will be notified.

Let me know if you have any problems. 

Genius Hour #1

So, you've now had your first session of Genius Hour. By now, you should have a good idea of what your project will be.

Your Genius Hour Project needs 2 aspects - one is the 'fun' bit (your area of interest), the other is your learning goal.  What will you be learning in Genius Hour?  How will you present and share this learning? Add this information to this blog below.

You also need to make sure you update your own blog each week.  Write a reflection on what you have done in each session.  What have you learned? What do you need to do for next time?  How are things going? Do you need some help?

In "The Real World", people work together, they communicate effectively and they collaborate.  Use your classmates as a resource, they might know things that can help you. Be a good listener and be a good thinker.  Work together to solve problems that arise.  Seek help from others.  Share your ideas with others.  Value the point of views of other people.  Appreciate that others have different interests from you. And most of all, have fun!

I can't wait to see what you come up with...
