Who Are YOU???

** Increase Self-esteem
** Improve Goal Setting

This short paper helps your student think of their positive


experiences and write them down to remember them.
Your students also begin making short term goals so they
learn the importance of goal setting to be successful.
Teacher’s Notes:
This is a set of 4 pages (1 for each grading period) to help your students
look for positive experiences in their lives and begin goal-setting. I think it
is very important for students to feel good about themselves to be
successful in the classroom. The pages are basically the same, one for
each grading period. (If you are not on a 9 week grading period, adjust this
for the number of grading periods you use.)

I have the students fill out the first one the first day of class to help them
think of the positive summer they have had. We brainstorm some ideas to
get them going on this activity. They also decide on a goal they want to
achieve in my class that grading period and how they are going to
accomplish the goal. Again, I brainstorm and give some examples to help
them begin this activity. I collect these papers and this gives me a quick
insight into what makes each student feel successful and where they are
headed in my class. I pass these out once or twice during the grading
period so students can look over their goals so they can try to stay on task.
Another option would be to have students keep them in their folders as a
daily reminder of their goals.

We do this activity at the beginning of each grading period, first reflecting


on the previous goal and then planning for the next nine weeks.
