Passion Mind Map

   

Blog #4: Task #2 - Elimination Zone

In task #1 students brainstormed passion topics.  In task #2, students will select three passion topics and create mind maps on their passions.  Here's the clincher: topics of goals, future plans, daily tasks, that included chores, homework, sleeping, and watching television were eliminated and must return to jam board to reassess topics.  Please click below for example of task #2:  students finding their passion project.

Aloha everyone,
We learned how extremely challenging, (not to mention) time-consuming this project started out.  It also was a great way to start a new year, (after seven months of COVID) to help students focus on something really important, themselves.  They just didn't know it yet!   A hui hou, Rae Tang

    Aloha Miss.Rae,

    My apologies for not leaving my name, this is Chanel! lol

    I love love love mind maps, so much in-fact that I have the app on my phone, called Simple Minds, there's a free version, but I upgraded to the professional version at a cost of $10.00 which is cheap considering all dope things this baby can do.

    Anyways lol, it's great that you have your students do passion projects and utilize Jam Board which is an under-appreciated FREE google drive tool!

    Also a cool thing that you can with Jam Board and I think you students can a kick from this idea is to use Jam Board to create "Vision Boards" kind of like New Year Resolutions goals but in a visual representation rather than empty promises lol. The "Vision Boards" doesn't have to be solely about what they wanna accomplish in the year, but maybe, what they want to accomplish or achieve in 6th, 7th or 8th grade, and other ideas~

    Below is an example of my Vision Board for the year 2021 ;D, which is currently my phone home screen background lol

Unwrapping Your Passion

         Blog #9 Aloha Kakou! On this Passion journey, what were some highlights or lessons that were observed: Students who shared their passions spoke with confidence, know who they are and what they want. They have goals, dreams, and plans. They articulated their passions to others.  Students who attended years of language classes/music lessons unwrapped their passions that resulted from years of discipline and routine not recognizing it as a livelihood.  Students learned to have an open mind, and to have a willingness to try a variety of things, because passion can come from being curious and it can expand from that.   Most importantly,  students learned passion is high energy, and contagious. Passionate people will go above and beyond for something they believe in.  Passionate people are resilient, and are driven by purpose, passion and enthusiasm. They have grit.   Please click on the final link to view students' exemplary Fin...

Brainstorming YOUR Passion

What did we learn in finding a passion among middle schoolers? Many students couldn't distinguish the difference between passion and goal. Some didn't have interests, collections, or talents to talk about. Others didn't include elementary music lessons, foreign language or sports activities. Below if you click on jam boards, you will get a glimpse of our 7th/8th grade passion topics for SY 2020-2021: https://jamboard.google.com/d/1EGHpIXfPb9N6a6NOAODnLakdQAKZFxRTEp5-vhjgyPQ/edit? usp=sharing https://jamboard.google.com/d/1kTct5r36QMqd3j5aqCiX6Z4ygQOkRcmLbeCx_1lxjVo/edit?usp=sharing https://jamboard.google.com/d/14eE57IQy_CsKBdo8l_r9OGZMbUKlYSNzFLDCkG0_FlM/edit?usp=sharing https://jamboard.google.com/d/1lEe9N7xad09dQInotoIIVM8_4hWRzT_xJYajPPBm28k/edit?usp=sharing
