What educators are saying
I used this for a student who needed to be challenged beyond grade level and it is great! I like how it challenges students to take ownership of their learning.
I used this project while my Grade 4s were doing their FSAs. My Grade 5s were super enagaged. They asked to do it again once we had finished.
Description
Perfect for independent study projects! Unlock your students' passions!
I have been trying to wrap my mind around how to implement passion projects in my classroom all year long. I LOVE the idea behind allowing my students to research topics that interest them, but I also wanted to create some guidelines and parameters to help them along while still allowing student choice and creativity. As you will see, I am approaching passion projects through the incorporation of choice boards. The boards can be copied back to back to give students eleven suggestions, but the twelfth option allows them to create a “pupil proposal”, thus allowing students to negotiate another option with the teacher.
Essentially, the project was created to allow students to independently research an area of interest, create a way to share their learning with the class, and foster life-long authentic learning. I LOVE passion projects… and I LOVE the idea of using it as an independent study project for individual students as much as I love it for a whole group. The possibilities are truly endless. Happy Teaching!
