Cross-curricular competencies -
Genius Hour
1.
Watch the video… What is genius hour?
2. Choose something you are passionate about and teach / share it with others.
Your ideas could be anything from learning how to do a new skill (like learning how to juggle, sewing, or playing the guitar for the first time), to doing stop-motion animation, to volunteering somewhere in our community, to tying flies or fly fishing, painting with water-colours, inventing something new that solves a problem,… ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.
3.
Once you have your chosen topic, dig deeper, find information, and finally, SHARE IT! Talk about it, create a poster,
power-point, research booklet, a play, video, …. Anything you want and share
all your findings IN YOUR OWN WORDS. NO CUT AND PASTING FROM THE INTERNET. THIS
IS NOT MEANT TO BE A BASIC RESEARCH PROJECT. Inquiry questions will be encouraged, instead. For example, researching about dogs is far too general. Find a 'how' or 'why' question like "How do dogs make you happy?"
4.
Use this guideline to get you started… Genius-hour-GUIDELINE.
5. I will show you many examples of topics. Also, an example of a genius hour project from class… Alexander's weaving GH project. - only seen from Mr. B's computer.
6.
Still stuck? Need a pep talk?
7. Enjoy and have fun learning about something you are interested in, something new, learning about or love to do.

Health Ed - iMinds!
iMinds is a way of thinking about health education. It encourages young people to develop drug and gambling literacy—the ability to live in the real world in a way that promotes well-being.
iMinds is a collection of resources for schools related to substance use and gambling. The lesson ideas fit well within the scope of BC’s K-12 curriculum with its emphasis on core and curricular competencies. The collection includes specific competencies for drug literacy and gambling literacy.
iMinds is not a program. There is no pre-set package of lessons to achieve drug or gambling literacy. The provided lesson ideas are samples designed to help teachers see multiple possibilities and opportunities to address health and well-being within the scope of various curricular subjects.
