What is an Innovation Project?

As a teacher, I am always looking for the next best thing to inspire my students to become more active participants in their learning. After researching Kevin Brookhouser's 20% project, I was inspired to recreate a version of this project for my own students. Thus, the Innovation Project was born.

Getting Ready to Move into the Research Phase!

We are about 1 week away from moving into the research phase of our innovation projects. In this phase, the kids are going to learn to take their "Driving Questions" and persuasively convince an audience that their chosen problems are valid while also learning proper researching techniques and paper writing skills. By the end of our two weeks in the library all students will have learned how to effectively write an outline with a thesis statement, take notes, choose credible resources, write a persuasive essay and then edit their essays. We'll see what happens!
