Steps to Create Your Genius Project Proposal

1.  Write a script.  Here is a sample script for my GH Proposal.

2.  Use a presentation application to animate each part of your script.

3.  Have at least two peers review your presentation for typos.


  • Next week, you will “pitch” your Genius Project Project idea to the full class with a 60-second mini-presentation using a digital presentation tool. Your pitch must include:

    • Your name.
    • What you'll be doing for your Genius Project.
    • Why you chose this project (Tell a little story, perhaps?)
    • What materials/resources you’ll need.
    • What obstacles do you anticipate and your plan to navigate those obstacles?
    • Why this project is worthy of a significant investment of your time.


        WORK TIME          

1.  Write your script first. Has the draft been looked at by at least two peers?

2.  Have your teacher or a friend read it over.

3.  Make changes.

New Strategy: Syntactic Comparisons
  • What it is?  A strategy that helps compare something you already know with a picture to help you remember the concept.

  • How it Works...
    1. You will be presented with four pictures and a statement that reads:  __________ is like a ________ because...
    2. You will select a picture that you think best reflects the concept and complete the sentence.
    3. Try it...

START a new page in your notebook titled: Syntactic Substitutions


Active Reading is like a...


because...
