Offers examples and rubrics for student-designed passion projects. They only fill out the highest standard in the rubric in order to promote student attainment of high achievement.
My "wonders:" Can I present students with 1-3 ELA or SS standards and have them design their learning around a Passion Project that addresses the standards? What resources would we need to accomplish this? (Green Screen, Maker Space, physical building materials, technology, ect).
Students present half at a time in vendor stations, such as at a professional conference.
Important points: Do not 'judge' students on their passion - simply pull out their learning.
Students use FlipGrid for responding to what they learned from the project.

Avoid too much text.
Avoid too much flash.
Avoid reading to audience.
Avoid low resolution imagery.
Avoid bullet lists- We like STORY, not lists.  Use images! Minimal texts.
Font Matters: Everyone laughs at Comic Sans.
Design Matters! What story are you telling?  What are you trying to communicate? It's your first impression? Provide a pleasurable experience.
"Work with Constraints and practice Restraints."
If it doesn't serve a purpose- don't do it.
"Communication not Decoration"
"Be a Simplistic Storyteller."
"Design Takes Time."
Keep audience in mind.
We remember images 65%, what we hear- 10%.
Effective design appeals to more than 2 senses (Travel ads will allow you to imagine seeing it, feeling it, drinking, etc.)
The image is the slide- make the background NOT matter.  Search for Google images "larger than 800x600 pixels" for "full-bleed" images.
Take photos with a lot of usable (negative) space for potential text.
Curate for yourself a folder of images to use.
Follow the "Rule of Thirds" designing slides.

The project was created in 2010 with a simple goal in mind; one book to connect the world. From its humble beginnings, the GRA has grown to make a truly global connection with milllions of students having participated.

What is it?

The premise is simple; we pick a book to read aloud to our students during a set 6-week period and during that time we try to make as many global connections as possible. Each teacher decides how much time they would like to dedicate and how involved they would like to be. Some people choose to connect with just one class, while others go for as many as possible. The scope and depth of the project is up to you. While there are commonly used such as Skype, Twitter, Padlet, or Flipgrid, you choose the tools that will make the most sense for you. Teachers get a community of other educators to do a global project with, hopefully inspiring them to continue these connections through the year.

When is it?

Once a year, starting in early October and running through mid-November. Due to the time commitment, this is only a once a year project, however, two fantastic spin-off projects run at other times; the New Zealand Read Aloud and the French version of GRA, Ecouter Lire le Monde.
