Learning Log - October 31st, 2012

What we did: 

   For the first block of todays' double-block of Humanities, we worked on our Genius Hour projects. We continued research on our topic using the laptops or electronics that we brought from home. Anybody who had not completed their book pass or posted on the Woodleighville blog completed those assignments first. 

  For the second block, we continued working on our Pathways notes and a booklet on taking and creating notes. 

Learning Intentions:
   Genius Hour helps us further explore interests that we may have, give us freedom in school increasing our productivity and teaches us collaboration and presentation skills. Learning how to create and take notes helps us better organize our work and information in class so that we have the appropriate information for studying. 

Learning how to create and take notes is important as it makes the information easier to read and remember in a way that is best for you.

Homework:
There was no homework assigned but you should continue working on your Genius Hour projects at home.

Homework Tips:
Make sure to log your process for your Genius Hour projects and record sites and books you get your information from as you will need this for your bibliography. You will also need to have your project peer-reviewed before presenting, a useful time may be when your group is stuck and is having troubles progressing or solving an issue.

See this google doc for more information and tips for your Genius Hour project!

Have a great Friday and weekend! :)
