Wednesday, October 19

Good morning, Capstone beauties!

DO NOW:
On a piece of paper, write down ONE (1) goal you have for yourself for this quarter (from now until December 13).
Write down TWO (2) ways or things you can do to accomplish this goal.

We will be focusing our time today on learning about goal setting through a number of different activities. 

1. Turning vague goals into specific goals. For example, "I want better grades" is not very specific. "I want to raise my grade in Science from an F to a C by the end of the quarter" is very specific.

2. Setting step-by-step plans for goals. Any goal can be achieved through careful planning.

3. Setting short-term personal goals. Goals do not have to be life goals. They can be over a short period of time. For example, "I want to schedule an eye appointment by the end of the week."

Time permitting, we will begin looking into Ashoka Youth Ventures, exploring what the next step in our Capstone journey will be.

Your homework for Friday is to have one short-term, personal goal set. You must accomplish this goal by Tuesday, October 25!
