A Blueprint for Your Passion Project

As much as a  Blueprint is important for building a house, it is equally important for a Passion Project.  I recently read an amazing book called Pure Genius, by Don Wettrick that inspired me to step up my Passion Project Instruction. Let me start by saying this is the guy that has made Genius Hour/Passion Project in the classroom a goal for so many teachers! If you want to implement Passion Projects or Genius Hour you definitely need to read his book and follow him on twitter @DonWettrick .He has taken Genius Hour to a whole new level by creating an Innovation Class rather than just one day a week(20%). Using 100% Time rather than 20%Time. I dream of transforming my classes into true Artovation classes. It makes sense for the world we are working so hard to prepare our students for. I could go on and on but I'll leave that discussion for another day.
Here is an example of my "Passion Project Blueprint" based on Don Wettrick's ideas.
