Description
1. In this assignment, the students
will set short term (achieved in less than a year), medium term (achieved in 1
- 5 years), and long term (achieved in more than 5 years) goals for
themselves.
2. To begin this assignment, divide
the class into groups of three or four individuals. Have the groups brainstorm
criteria for goals. These criteria will serve as parameters for setting goals
and will help the students set appropriate goals.
3. Once the brainstorming has been
completed, bring all of the groups back together and have the reporter from
each group share the group's ideas.
4. The teacher should write down
the groups shared ideas.
5. Hold a large group discussion
about the ideas that were presented and narrow down the criteria.
6. Have the small groups reconvene.
This time have the groups brainstorm different categories in which life goals
may be set. A couple of obvious examples would be career/work and
education.
7. Once the brainstorming has been
completed, regroup and write down all of the possible categories. As one group
narrow down the choices.
8. Handout the blackline master
entitled, Goal Setting - My Life Goals. The students will work on this
part of the assignment individually.
9. Have the students complete the
chart on the blackline master by filling in the categories in which they wish
to set life goals. Have them set long term, medium-term, and short-term goals
for each of the categories that they pick.
10. Once this task has been
completed, the students shall write a one page report about obstacles that
could get in the way of goal achievement and how those obstacles may be
eliminated. Any changes that may have to occur in order for the goal to be
realized, and any supports or resources that will help the students in
achieving their goal, should be recorded.
11. The assignment is to be
submitted with a title page, the goal setting blackline master, and the
report.
