Summarize the purpose of your Genius Hour project in 140 characters.
The purpose of our Genius Hour was to inform other nature enthusiasts about the different game animals of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and all hunting opportunities and different hunting information on the species.
Explain the process of your Genius Hour project. Be reflective. Be contemplative. Explain and describe your journey. (No Less Than Three FULL paragraphs.)
The Process for our genius hour project was to create a web page to explain the game animals of Michigan. On our web page we included pictures of the most common small and big game animals. We also included descriptions on where to look for these animals and proper equipment to hunt them.
The descriptions include the types of trees and forest that the animals live in. The descriptions also consist of the right guns and weapons to hunt each specific animal. The photos help the viewers to identify the species they are trying to hunt. The most work for our genius hour project was the extensive research on the habitats, behaviors, and much more.
We hope to educate other hunters on different hunting tactics and ways that work best for us. We also inform viewers about the forests to go hunting in to find the species they are targeting. There was a lot of details included in the descriptions that make them more informative.
If a hunter reads our page we assure he will learn a lot.
The intention For Genius Hour is NOT only to learn, but ALSO to share your knowledge with others who can and will benefit from your learning. How did you share your learning? What do you hope the result might be? (No Less Than Two Full Paragraphs.)
We shared the information by making a web page that is very informative.
The people that benefit are hunters and nature watchers. They will benefit by learning the animals that are here and how to find them and hunt them. We hope that the result is that more people become educated on the game animals of Michigan.
We hope that people use this information to better their hunting experience. This information should make hunter’s adventures more successful. It should show them where the animals like to go the most, what equipment to go, and other interesting and helpful facts about the animals.
If you could do anything different with your Genius Hour project what would you do differently and why? (No less than two full paragraphs.) If we could change anything we would have included a section on how to clean the animal. We would include this because it is important to use the animal and not waste the animal. We would have put a segment on how to skin animals to get the animals pelts. Getting all possible use from the animal that you harvested is essential.
We would have also included a segment on how to get the meat from the animal harvested. It is very important to get all possible meat from the animal harvested. This information would have been very helpful to include. Wild game meat can taste very good and if cooked right it can taste even better than the store bought meat. This meat is also better because there is no additives or preservatives
Reflect on what you did well during this Genius Hour process? Note your successes and accomplishments. (No less than two full paragraphs.) We researched extensively to get information about all of the species. We researched information about the animal’s description the other information we researched, included the habitats and different hunting tactics. We also created a web page that included all of this information. The web page is very informative and easy to follow.
On the web page there is images and descriptions that are very helpful and detailed. The information is so informal it can make a beginner very successful in the field. The page is straight forward making it easy for older people and people that are not tech savvy. The page has so much information packed into brief descriptions that can help immensely.
