I am still trying to figure out where exactly I am going to take my genius hour project and many different ideas have crossed my mind lately but I am still not quite sure what I should exactly do. However, the biggest help with my project is all of the resources and tools that I have at my convenience. My mom is a high school English teacher and a librarian so her input into my genius hour creation is much appreciated and considered. She has helped me narrow down what novels I want to read and the importance of understanding why these stories are classics.
First of all, I don't know an over abundance about books and I'm not exactly sure what "good writing" actually is but I still have an idea of why certain writers works have withstood the tests of time. There are a few defining characteristics of classic novels: thorough character development, strong moral or underlining message, and writing that seems even a little before it's time. These are all things that I have learned through my research and without access to the internet this project would certainly not be possible. I'm hoping that I can come up with a novel to read soon and really get my project started. My mom has been the biggest help with this just by helping me narrow down my book selection and giving me some of the greatest books of all time to read.
Lately I have been using my time in class given to us to work on our Genius Hour projects to write blogs and work on my webpage. My time has been used wisely ,however, I am excited to finally start reading when I pick out a novel and I'm wishing to get a lot of time in class to do so. The way that my class time has been spent leads me to believe that this activity is going to be a major success,
