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

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. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NZA0v403h4M1w35weUAri0hPSIi-JcQssEr0GVShqTI/edit?usp=sharing 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

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
