The genius hour project has come to an end; and it was quite an exciting journey. I chose this topic since it was a great relatable topic to not only myself, but also all individuals. Since Canada is becoming more and more multicultural, learning about new cultures and languages is a great way to expand the knowledge one has about the world.
Overall, we can all note that one’s heritage
plays a large role in comprising one’s identity. Heritage allows an individual
to view their history in a different light. Whether it’s through family
recipes, the language or languages that are spoken, pieces of artwork, architecture,
or the beliefs that people have in correlation with their traditions and/or
religion, everyone has a story to tell. In my opinion, I believe that this is
an important task to pass on this story from generation to generation. As time
passes, small aspects will be lost but it should be up to each generation to
make an attempt to pass on their rich heritage in order for generations of
people to benefit and attain a lifetime of knowledge.
I believe that my next step, to further develop this project, is to introduce the the concept into the classroom. This is a topic that can be relatable to everyone. Therefore, I believe that, if given the chance, students will tremendously succeed in finding new and interesting facts about themselves and their peers. This is a great way in which students may get to know a new culture, language, traditions, etc. that they may have no known before. Searching for an answer is a great activity to promote an engaging an active learning environment. It should be a fun learning experience; and as educators, we want to promote a safe and comfortable learning environment for the students.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog posts and happy learning!
