The article that I read was "is Genius born or can it be learned?". It was basically debating on if you can make a genius or if you were born a genius. In my opinion we are all born equal and what you do with your brain is up to you. I use this information from this website to help educate myself.

In the video Ken talks about how not all students are the same level of education. He also talks about how there should be a variety of classes because not every kid learns matieral the same way. I think that he did a good job to explain why the kids need more classes and a varitey. Not all kids are interesting in learning the same thing and thank god someone understands.
The way the author describes a genius is not based on how high your SAT score is or how high of an IQ you have. Being a genius is being being creative but also intelligent. Shared stratieges for a genius is rethinking things and seeing if they can see it from a different point of view. They also think about how many different ways there is to solve the problem. I could use some of these ideas in my genius hour project, like the way they rethink and reevaluate different problem or situations. Seeing how many different ways i can possibly solve it. Little things like that are ways to think and act more like a genius.
In the assigned article, it tells about how kids all over the world are using genius hours. Kids tell about how they love their genius hour because it isnt a teacher assigned project. They get to learn about things that interest them and it is to help them learn to think by themselves. The students say that they like it because they have the freedom to make the decision they want and what motivates them to work harder. I think this could be applied in my project because we are working on something that we like so in turn we will work harder and be more motivated to do it. Also the article says you will learn to think for yourself more, i agree with this because there really isnt a set thing we have to do its more of self thinking and your own problem solving.
Detail exactly what you intend to accomplish with your genius hour project in the month of October, November, and December. This is your itinerary for completion of your project by January 10, 2017.
