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,
ReplyDeleteMy 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
