PASSION PROJECT What does it mean to be

PASSION PROJECT

• What does it mean to be passionate about something? • What are you passionate about?

• How can you take what you are passionate about and turn it into a project? • Research • What could you do • Make a list of ideas • Create a graphic organizer as you brainstorm

• What would your project look like? • A story • A song • A Power Point Presentation • A video • Something you have created (a business, a painting, something sewn)

• Final Project Requirements: • Your research project will culminate in a final product that will be shared with your class. Although you have a great deal of flexibility, your final project must:

• Reflect your preferred expression style (e. g. if written expression is your preference, your final product must take a written form) • Address/answer (directly or indirectly) all six driving questions:

• 1. What is your passion and why is it more than a mere interest to you? • 2. Who or what got you interested/involved in your passion?

• 3. What aspect(s) of your passion would you like to learn more about? • 4. What would other people need to know about your passion in order to understand it?

• 5. How has or will your passion influence or affected the area where you live? • 6. How does your passion affect and reflect you as a person and a learner?
