Unwrapping Your Passion

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.

On that note, I'd like to say, thank you all for sharing your PASSION. . . and grit.

Mahalo Kakou, Rae Tang

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

Minding your Passion Speech

  Blog #6 Aloha Kakou! All aboard . . . Students have chosen at least one topic to do their passion speech.  Next step,  to prepare their attention grabber.  Students learned an attention getter is used at the beginning of an essay to grab the reader's attention.   As they learned in Kid President and Kid Black's videos, they could use quotations, statistics, or questions, and stories.  This task wasn't an easy flow as it was difficult for students to decipher, verbal/nonverbal cues into a passion speech. Please click on the link to view Kid President and Kid Black's samples and a template for students: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zzjdluVGO3E5kBoSJ1WaPrV4fVQSJFpBgQ4NRvoFKVg/edit?usp=sharing
