Week 5

 So, Genius hour is coming to a close. I've learned so much over these past few weeks! There are some questions I'm required to answer, so I will list my answers below:

1) My favorite part of my topic were the different worlds. I loved learning about the 9 Worlds of Yggdrasil, because it sort of adds a fantasy feeling to the rest of the myths. The ability to travel between dimensions make the gods seem more powerful.
2) My least favorite of my topic was learning about Ragnarok. After all this time, I've grown to love all the characters in Norse Mythology, and to hear about how they were destroyed horrified and fascinated me at the same time!
3) The best thing about Genius Hour is the ability to choose your own topic! This sort of freedom is rare when it comes to school projects, so tart of Genius Hour.
4) My least favorite part about Genius Hour was that we only got to research in class once a week. I wish we could have spent more time in class and take advantage of the technology provided.
5) I think the most important thing to take away from this entire experience was what I learned about myself. I am now considering being a mythologist as a future career! Not only Norse or Greek, but Roman, Asian, as well as a majority of Native American mythology.

 I hope you've all enjoyed learning about this topic as I share what I had discovered. It's been a great few weeks and I cannot wait until next year, when we'll do this again!
