In my Digital Citizenship class we could choose any topic of our interest and present it in any way you want. Now that we are done with that we have to write a Reflection on our Genius Hour project.
The research topic I chose for my Genius Hour project was “what is an El Nino?”. At the beginning I was interested in El Nino’s because it’s a natural disaster affecting us right now. But after I started researching I still liked the topic but wasn’t as interested in it because it was really hard to find information. I learned a lot about El Nino’s and how they affect us. I learned that El Nino’s are caused by hot and cold water flowing in different directions then usually because of the wind. If I were to grade my Project I would give my self a B- or about 80%. I gave more effort into finding information and should have made the video longer. My project didn’t help anybody specifically but it did inform people about what is happening around them. For my next Genius Hour project I would research a bit before choosing the topic to see if there’s enough information of it on the internet. I am not sure what topic I will chose for my next Genius hour but here are some broad ideas I was thinking about: Emojis: Who created them? When were they created,? How to draw Manga or comic figures? and the last idea I have is to make a presentation about how even the smallest animals effect our Eco-system and are necessary for the life as we know it.

What does El nino do to the lives of some of your people? Is El Nino a tornado? If it is made of hot and cold water then does it have something to do with the sea. Visit my blog at jonathonm20.edublogs.org.
Hey,
So an El Nino is not a tornado but it can cause tornado’s. When the winds change directions the ocean flows different ways which causes the weather to change, this is called a El Nino. An El Nino is not like other Natural Disasters and you can’t visually see an El Nino but it causes other Natural Disasters.
