Genius Hour, or 20 Time, is a concept advanced by such successful companies as Google that allows employees to spend 20% of their time working on projects based on their own curiosity, their own passions. It's an attractive strategy for the classroom, too, but can it work with novice language classes? I'm becoming a novice again, pursuing my own passion in Portuguese, a language I don't know, to see what it takes to make Genius Hour work with language learning.

Reflexão
Algo interessante de meu tema para a classe é como usar os materiais de seus casas para algo novo. Artesanato também é bello. Quero saber mais de projetos com sacolinhas de plástico e tecnicas para fazer cosas novas para decorar. Eu nunca soube que era tão fácil fazer fio das sacolinhas.
