Check here weekly to see our PROGRESS and activity.
This week we will be researching quidditch. You may have heard of quidditch before because of Harry Potter. This is what initially sparked our interest. Obviously, we are not able to fly, but some people do play quidditch in real life. It is just slightly altered.
In what is called muggle quidditch (or real life quidditch), the goal is to get the most points by getting the most points. There are 7 people on the field at once, and usually 21 members on each team. Positions include, seeker, chaser, beater, and keeper. There are three chasers, they attempt to throw the quaffle through the opponents hoops. The 2 beater's main goal is to hit the other players and try to knock the bludgers from their hands. The seeker is attempting to reach a tennis ball that hangs from a sock from an officials waist. The keeper is like a goalie in other sports. They try to keep the chasers from getting the quaffle through the hoops. Each time a quaffle is successfully thrown through a hoop, that team gets 10 points. The game is over, when someone catches the snitch (the tennis ball that is attached to the official). Unlike Harry Potter, if you catch the snitch, you do not automatically win the game. If you catch the snitch, the game ends and that team is awarded 30 points. However, the winner is still determined by whoever has the most points in the end.

For our Genius Hour project, we will be trying out different sports. Not regular sports though, we will be trying out sports that most people don't think of initially. When you think of sports, you think basketball, football, baseball, etc. We will not be doing those sports. We will be trying sports such as quiddich and croquet. Every two weeks we will be working in a new sport. For the first week, we will research the sport and get familiar with it. The second week, we will get together and actually try out best to learn it. It may not be the best, considering we are just trying to learn to the best of our abilities. We are not skilled, or trained in these activities. Some of these sports, we know nothing about yet. During this process we will also be trying to use regular items and not going to buy a ton of equipment each week.
