ABSTRACT

Planning the project is an important step that will affect the success of the project as well as the work that the students do as they complete the project. The planning stage of a Genius Hour project allows students to take control of their idea and gives them the freedom to decide what needs to take place, when things need to be done, and how they will make it happen. A learning project is a project that involves the student learning information about a specific subject. Knowing the purpose of their project gives students the ability to decide on their target audience. A project is completed to share with an authentic audience.
