I am so excited!  Tomorrow evening the students will be presenting their Genius Project to the public.


You are Invited

What:  Composition II Genius Project Presentations
When: Tuesday, May 1, 2018            6:00 P.M.
Where: Take Root Café, 114 West Harrison St., Kirksville, MO
Why:  Eighteen students from Ms. Todd’s Composition Class will be presenting four minute TED-type talks about the individual Genius Projects they have been working on the past six weeks.  Genius projects are based on the 20% Time or Genius Hour began in businesses such as 3M and Google. In order to increase intrinsic motivation and creativity, students were asked to choose a project that is new to them and something they would not normally do in an academic class. Their project must produce a product or achieve some kind of goal.  On Tuesday they will be presenting their ideas and experience in reaching their goals. Please come and share in the excitement! 

I have also listed the students and their projects as they will appear on Tuesday evening.

Dedicated to be Motivated

This has been a great learning experience for me. Like many educational endeavors I learned more than I expected and it was more difficult than I had anticipated. I am thankful for my family and friends who encouraged me and I also want to thank David Caples and Nicole Baum for their ongoing technical support. I also appreciate MACC and the Director of the Kirksville Higher Education Center, Artie Fowler. I also want to offer a special thanks to Take Root Cafe for allowing us to use this great venue.
