Brit Lit CPI: Getting Started with 20% Time
We started our 20% Time today.
And because we won't have a typical class on Wednesday because of late start and guidance visits, we used all of today as 20% Time.
Folks who didn't have ideas for where to go, met with me.
Folks who have ideas for where to go were asked to fill out one of two graphic organizers to help you organize your thinking. Both can be found in the Brit Lit CPI Google Drive folder in the "Shared With Me" section of your Google Drive.
On Friday, folks will have more 20% Time, we will set up blogs and systems for tracking our 20% Time progress. We will also start doing the work necessary to make your 20% Time projects a success by watching the original Frankenstein and looking at how the ideas in that film can inspire our work.
HOMEWORK.
20% Time Project: Make progress. Keep thinking.

Brit Lit CPI: Reinventing Brit Lit
Today we explored a few ways we could transform Brit Lit CPI into the sort of course we look forward to taking.
Using Edutopia and MindShift, we investigated several progressive learning processes that put a new spin on what school can look like.
We used this chart to do it.
We investigated gamification, 20% time, genius hour, project based learning, design thinking and maker education.
We decided that adopting 20% Time would give us the best opportunity to explore passion projects while still having a structured chunk of time for Mr. Ryder to teach the skills and understandings necessary to create effective passion projects.
Next class, we will focus on determining our passion projects for 20% time. There will be ways to go about doing this determinations. Folks should be committed to a project by Sept 26th.
