Genius Hour 1

My class is going to be involved in a little project called genius hour. If you don't know what genius hour is, it is basically where the student chooses a topic of interest and learns about the topic. It must be something that the student does not yet know how to do. Every week, my class is given one period to work on our genius hour. 

For my genius hour, I am going to learn how to make an album. Since I already have knowledge at writing songs and playing guitars I will be writing a series of songs. I'll look up how to create a good album and how to put the songs up somewhere and make them all have a common theme.

She was married to James Joseph Brown; but that wasn’t all in this little family, they had a son and daughter who went by the names of Lawrence Palmer Brown and Catherine Ellen Brown. Now way before she became known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown she was known for being the first women in the United States to run for political office; she ran for senate for eight years straight! Molly and her daughter were known for travelling all of Europe with the John Jacob Astor party in Cairo, Egypt. After their adventures of Europe Molly received a very tragic message saying that her first grandchild was very ill, so knowing that,she thought she had to get to New York City as quickly as possible. She booked a ticket for the earliest ship leaving to New York which happened to be the Titanic. From her quick decision to go to New York her daughter stayed back and very few of her family members knew about her boarding the Titanic. After being on the Titanic when it hit the ice berg she made a quick move to the lifeboat number 6. Once she got in that boat everyone was in panic and shock of the fact that the Unsinkable ship was beginning to sink! So she took charge of the lifeboat full of women and she began telling them what to do and to stay focused; she became the rock of the boat. She was known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown because after she took charge of the lifeboat which made it safely to the boat which had all the survivors on it; not only did she save them but she remained calm the whole time! She reassured all the woman and kept them calm while this was happening. 20 years later Molly Brown had died of a brain tumor on Wednesday October 26^th,1932 aged of 65. Even though Molly Brown is gone she will always be remembered as the Unsinkable Molly Brown that made an impact on the titanic tragedy!
