Genius Hour Editable Project Guide

Get your students EXCITED about learning with this fully editable Genius Hour Passion Project!

Students take ownership of their own learning by choosing a topic that interests them to research and present to the class! Students learn real-world research skills through research scavenger hunts that they can apply to their projects!

Genius Hour can truly change the way that your students approach research and learning in the classroom because it helps them take ownership of their own learning!

Genius Hour is a great project to use as an enrichment activity/early finisher for students who are ready to take on an additional challenge. However, it also works well as a project that all students are required to do, because it fits so well with science, writing, English Language Arts and ISTE standards. I have done it both ways, and I think depending on your class, either way could be successful!

This project includes 59 pages that create a complete Genius Hour Project Guide!
