6th Grade Passion Projects by St. Elizabeth https://padlet.com/ste_school/Passion_Projects A passion project is something YOU work on that allows YOU to explore YOUR own passions and encourages YOUR creativity in and out of the classroom. It provides YOU a choice in what YOU learn during a set period of time during or outside of school. en-us 2017-09-04 17:06:50 UTC 2024-01-19 15:42:32 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/193472380/50eddb1bceac7249000c48091f77723f/passion.jpg What? How? If? Now... STE_School https://padlet.com/ste_school/Passion_Projects/wish/184560315 What are some of your current loves? Likes?


How do you like to spend your time when you’re not in school?

 

If you could read/learn about anything in the world, what would it be? What do you wonder about?


Why is this project worthwhile?


What do you expect to learn from this project?


Now, how could you turn that passion into a project and show the world that which you are passionate??

 

Use a sheet  of paper to brainstorm ideas for a project you could complete and share with the class.


Once your topic has been chosen, determine the "essential" or "guiding" question' that will direct your project.


Submit your topic, essential question and name into the Google form here.

You may also work on it at home. ]]> 2017-09-04 17:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ste_school/Passion_Projects/wish/184560411 Process: STE_School https://padlet.com/ste_school/Passion_Projects/wish/184560436 You are welcome to use any materials you find at school, but you may also need to collect some of your own materials to finish the project. 
You could consider using interviews and personal experiences to support your journey.

Questions to ask yourself and answer:
What PRODUCT will you have to show at the end of the timeline?

What sort of equipment, tools, supplies, resources, etc. will you need and where will you get it?

What is your timeline for completing (or launching) your project?]]> 2017-09-04 17:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ste_school/Passion_Projects/wish/184560436 Process: STE_School https://padlet.com/ste_school/Passion_Projects/wish/184560472 *Passion Projects MUST have a research component (you have to do research to learn about / generate ideas for your passion). 

*You will need to keep track of the research you do within your Google Drive. 

*You will need a folder to keep any printed materials organized for this project. 

*You can also scan and upload anything you have into your Google Drive folder. 

*If you have images, videos, websites to go along with your passion, keep them within the same Google Drive folder. 

*Create a bookmarks folder labeled Passion Projects to bookmark useful web resources.

*Everything will be important to your final work! You need to keep everything in a safe and retrievable place.]]> 2017-09-04 17:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ste_school/Passion_Projects/wish/184560472 Process: STE_School https://padlet.com/ste_school/Passion_Projects/wish/184560601 You can build something, design something, make something, write something, collect something, learn something new … it’s all up to you.  You will be provided with examples and resources to use for your final work.


You will have 15 class sessions to complete your first Passion Project. Everyone will share their Passions late January.
