Monday Motivation --Passion

3/16/2014

I think you'll recognize most of the people in this video. What do they all have in common? They have pursued their passion and used their gifts to change the world. Can you imagine a world without Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, or Walt Disney? Thankfully, they were wise enough to go after what they were passionate about.

In 5A we do Genius Hour for an hour each week. The purpose of this is to let you, the students, explore your passions. You have so many different things you are interested in and I want to make sure you have time to answer those questions and pursue something YOU want to learn. What are you pursuing this Genius Hour cycle and how will you share it with the world? Comment on this post and respond to one classmate's post by Tuesday.

I can't think of what I'm tring to pursue, though I think i am trying to pursue how much I can do making a game (hack), and how I'll share our project, is I'll share it with friends and people, and if they its good, I'll make the hack public and let people play it.

Because I like to draw, I will draw relistic figures because actually I chose to draw comic scenes, but I thouhght I could draw relistic figures, because I am not good at it, and I wanted to learn how to draw.

Luana,

I'm happy you are excited about Genius Hour, but remember you were supposed to comment on what you are pursuing and how you will share it with the world. What will you be working on this cycle?
