My name is Saule and this is my first time blogging on Weebly. I cant wait to share what I'm learning and what I'm doing for Genius Hour! I'm learning as I'm going and will probably have this whole page full by the end of the school year.
Genius Hour is a program where 6th graders follow their passion or investigate something they're interested in.
At the beginning of Genius Hour, I was going to do 3D drawing, but I changed my mind and did photography because I wanted to try something new other than drawing. I was feeling a little nervous at first because I didn't know what to start with. I decided to join two of my friends who were also doing photography.
First, my friends and I took regular pictures and tried to edit them so they would look better. After a while of taking pictures, we found an app on the ipad and used it to make black and white pictures, Then we colored in some of the photos. We had some difficulties because the camera on the iPad was not very good and sometimes it was very blurry. We were Delighted that we got a couple of pictures that were strong and in focus. After taking a whole lot of pictures we decided to make a website on Wix.com and show off our hard work. On the website we wrote about photography and it's history. After everything was in place, we decided that we were done.
I was very proud of our work and still am. This was my first round of Genius Hour and I enjoyed the photography. As I was writing on our website I was thinking of what I would do for my second round of Genius Hour and chose to do if I wouldn't change my mind.
Today, in Genius Hour my group and I tried to make slime. I was not happy with how it turned out, and I think that there's too many people in our group. When all of us want to make the slime, and a video, or pictures we frustrate and don't get to do it. So I thought, next week i'm going to be on my own for Genius Hour because it will be easier and I will be able to do the project and I won't need to rush.
