A Genius Project is a fun and engaging way for students to practice research, design, and presentation skills by selecting their own topic of interest!

Often times, students select historical or science topics that often tie inter-disciplinaries together!

I designate 3-5 days on Genius Projects and have students complete them between units.

The resource includes 10 Pages + QR codes to Student Example, and Project Template

Included in this Resource:

· Genius Packet Student Planning Guide (Pg. 1-3)

· Genius Project outline (Pg. 4)

· Project Rubric (Pg. 5)

· Practice Worksheet, To check for understanding for the Rubric & Practicing summarizing research section without plagiarizing (Pg. 6-7).

· Parent Letter introducing Genius Project (Pg. 9)
