You could cobble together a few pages of material about a country you've been to on holiday or your favourite animal (blah, blah, blah) or you could do something different. Never settle for ordinary.
Here are some of the ideas that I was ranting about:
- Make a website
- Start a business (research, development, advertising, sales, finance)
- Create an app (you don't even have to make it, it could be hypothetical - research, design and market it)
- Design a range of clothes
- Learn an instrument and write a daily blog about what you do
- Actually create a show garden at home (i.e. RHS Chelsea - you can even submit your idea to next years show)
- Make a movie (not just a 5 min clip - something special)
- Create a YouTube channel teaching people about something good (e.g. cooking, bike maintenance, etc...)
- Investigate the effects of gravity (with objects - not yourself)
- Make a recipe book and cook for your family
- Create a proper computer game
- Make a board game
- Build a sculpture trail
- Solve one of the longitude prize problems and win £10 million
- The guy who won the first one spent 40 years researching it. You might need to start now.
- Write an anthology of poems
- If you are going to research a country or topic then make it interesting, e.g.:
- Study Babylonian culture and make a massive Hanging Gardens of Babylon
- Research Egypt and mummify a cat (or pretend)
- Write a novel (not a story, a novel)
The only rule is: it must be 7 weeks worth of homework. It says somewhere how long you should spend per week - I should probably know - but I imagine its about 2 -3 hours. Therefore 2 - 3 hours x 7 = Somewhere between 14 and 21 hours work. Not 2 hours the night before.
