Genius Hour promotes passion-based learning. Students choose what they want to learn about and how they want to show off what they learned. There are only 2 rules: It must be re searchable and it must be turned in to some sort of project.
This is my second year teaching, and I have loved every minute of it. I teach high school English and English as a New Language for ENSC. I also help with the student newspaper, The Knightly Scroll (www.knightlyscroll.net).
