The author who wrote this article had a different look at how to explain a genius. He said geniuses know “how” to think instead of “what” to think. The author also said that geniuses are not necessarily the smartest person or the one with the best IQ. They are the ones that keep searching even after they have found what they are looking for. The definition of genius is a little different in a dictionary. The dictionary would say that a genius is someone who is very intelligent or creative. The author believes there is much more to a genius that just being intelligent. There are eight strategies shared by geniuses: they look at problems in many different ways, make their thoughts visible, produce, make novel combinations, force relationships, think in opposites, think metaphorically, and prepare themselves for chance. My genius hour project encourages me to make my thoughts visible by constantly coming up with different ways to make my project better and more complex. My project also encourages me to look at problems in many different ways. I have realized that it is OK to fail. It gives me a chance to fix my project and learn from mistakes of the past.
This Week This past week I continued to water my plants and trim them. They are getting really big now! Next Week Next week will be that first week I start to give out plants. I will pick four plants to give out. They will have a recipe and other unique things that someone can use the herb for.
