Rate your Genius Hour effort from 1-10 (with 10 being superior and 1 being minimal). Explain the reasoning for your score.
If I had to rate myself I would say a 7. When I first started I wanted to learn more about abuse, and also donate supplies to The Caring House, in Iron Mountain. I was very excited about it and could not wait to see how everything worked out. Come to find out, it was much harder than I had planned. It took me forever to finally get a meeting with the manager and when I did by that time I already had my mind on something else I wanted to do. At the end of the first semester I decided to learn more and work on my art skills. I also planned on raising money for my art class. My effort was 100% but my success was no where near how much effort I put in.
Explain why/why not you think Genius Hour is a good use of your time in English Language Arts.
I think Genius Hour is a great use of time in my English class because it gave us something to work very hard on and have a fun time doing it too. I not only learned about what I wanted to but I also learned more about myself doing my genius hour project. My genius hour project was not successful. I did learn a lot, but was not able to reach my goal of $500.00 dollars for my art class. I was extremely disappointed. I had a lot of struggles in my way when doing my project these last couple of weeks and now I will not be able to finish how I wanted to.
