My Genius Hour Reflection

As we near the end of the term, reflect on the progress so far with your

Genius Hour Project.

---

My Genius Hour project is: Greek gods/Goddesses

---

Backward-Looking:

How much did you know about the subject before we started?

Before we started genius hour, I didn’t know anything about Greek gods and history. I only knew about Greek gods when my friends were talking about it, I seemed really interested when they were talking about it. That’s why I decided to do an I wonder question about Greek gods, I had a lot of wonders about Greek gods in my head. But I chose one question, that really made me think… What is a Greek god?

Inward-Looking:

What were your goals for meeting this piece of work? Have your goals changed as

you worked on it? Are you on track to meet your goals?

My goals are to get some interesting facts about Greek gods, not only interesting, but facts that will blow people’s minds off. With those AMAZING facts, I will put them into my own words and put them into my presentation. I’m not quite up to that yet, so now I’m going to have to do some extra research at home and before school to make sure that I am on track, and nearly to that point where my work is almost done.

Outward-Looking:

If you were the teacher, what comments would you make about your work so far?

I would say that my work is going great! I have started to find some really interesting facts, I have been updating my genius hour journal, and I have also done a lot of research. I think I am ready to start my presentation. But first I would have to check if all my information is in my words so that people would be able to understand it. After I do that, I will be able to start my presentation, and share all the things I have learnt so far about greek gods.

Forward-Looking:

As you look at your work so far, what's one thing that you would like to try to improve

upon?

I think I should try improving on talking more with my group and also collaborating with them. I think I’m focusing too much on my part of the project, and not actually helping others in my group.  From now on, I’m going to do as much as possible to talk with my group, and also meet up with them to talk about how they are doing.
