Grade 9 Hobby Passion Project

Hobby

Definition: an interest or activity to which a person devotes time for pleasure

You will learn a hobby and track your progress in a weekly journal. You will choose a hobby that you have never done before, and you will teach yourself that hobby. You may use resources like the library, the Internet, and people in your lives to learn.

The hobby must be something you have NEVER done before. Learn something BRAND NEW TO YOU. Materials for this project will be determined by you.

Hobby Ideas-

●   Juggling

●   Yo-yo tricks

●   Knit

●   Crochet

●   Hacky sack

●   Play a new song on an instrument

●   Learn a complicated dance (aka waltz, Thriller)

●   Ventriloquist

●   Pottery / sculpture

●   Learn ASL alphabet and tell a story

You will present your hobby to the class at ANY TIME.

Your journal entry should not be long, but should cover what you did that week regarding your hobby and how you feel about the learning process. It will be entered into the Google Form available on Mr. Hammer’s blog (hammereagleview.blogspot.ca). Please also take pictures and videos to document your progress.

For example-

Day One 9/16/16

Decided to learn to juggle. I balled up some socks to practice with because then I don’t have to buy anything and they’re soft. I looked up juggling videos on YouTube. They say I should start with tossing one object. Tossed a sock back and forth. I think I might have it, but I have to watch it. This might be hard, but I can do it.

This should be difficult. Do not pick something easy to learn. I want you to struggle. I want you to track your learning process.
