Today I made a quiz on Playbuzz to determine if someone was truly their zodiac sign Scorpio. I've been trying to think of a way to present all the hard work and research I've been doing. I decided I'm going to make a quiz for all the zodiac signs to see if they truly match their sign.

Today during genius hour, I created my survey. I did more research and asked a fellow classmate more questions about their zodiac sign. I had three people answer a quiz about their true zodiac sign too.
Next week I'll hopefully have all the surveys back and will be able to go over them. I want to compare their answers to their true zodiac signs. I want to be able to ask more classmates about their zodiac sign. On Tuesday we will be going to Jefferson and doing a real life shark tank. We will get fake money and will be able to "invest" in the work the eighth graders are working on. We will be able all observe all the handwork they have been doing. I'm excited about genius day. I want to be able to show all the people all the work I've put into my topic. I will be doing my round two project. Today I interviewed my fellow classmates to see if their personalities matched their zodiac sign. I want to see if your personality and the decisions you make really influence your personality.
Right now I have started my blog. I have reached out to several authors and have gotten one author to reply. I have already discussed with the author and am waiting for us to meet. I wish I could talk and get advice from more authors but even getting one response if more than enough. I also have to finish posting the advice on my blog.
I started off with reading and now I'm doing writing. I have learned that in order to publish a book you need to know the results you want your book to get before you can publish it. You also need to know the massage you want the book to get out like if you want the book to teach someone about Mythology or science, or if you just want the book to challenge someones point of view on a certain topic or idea. I've tried to reach out to authors like Rick Riordan, J.K Rowling, John Green and Cassandra Clare. It's been interesting learning about writing because I want to be a writer so learning what not and to do is really important. I have always thought that you should write the book and then think about the success you want but now I know that knowing where you want to go helps influence your book and ideas.
When we first started Genius Hour I thought it was really exciting,I couldn’t wait to be able to talk about something I was really passionate about. It was also a good way to get out my feels about Percy Jackson and Mythology. I would have prefered to like be able to get in contact with people with Rick Riordan. I wasn’t nervous about the video I just didn’t really want to do it. I would have liked to do it in my own way. Like create a skit or read a Percy Jackson book aloud. I would have liked to be able to actually teach people about Hercules,Jason and Perseus. I really wished I could have taught people stuff they really didn’t know,like how the Gods have greek and roman personalities. In conclusion I really enjoyed this project. But I wish I would have been able to do it more in my own way. |
