Our seniors are starting a new project in Mr. Tonkinson’s Bible classes. The Challenge the Process (CTP) Project was birthed out of a challenge that Mr. Tonkinson received while attending an EdTech conference over the summer. The master instructor inspired him with her experience with Genius Hour whereby students are given 20% of class time each week to hone their skills in: research, critical thinking, reading, writing, and presenting through working on a project of their choice.
Because the Junior/Senior Bible classes are moving to a iPad cart program in January this is the perfect time to launch the CTP Project. In August, our seniors were challenged to find a project that would fill in the blank, “The world is better because I did ______________.” They can work independently or in groups of two or three. The seniors will spend the entire year in their project with mile-markers along the way all culminating in a year-end presentation.
There are several elements to each project including a theological piece (where each group sees God at work in them). Everyone had to “pitch” their project ideas last week and the following YouTube clips are but a few of the projects they’ll be working on.
