Aloha, 11th graders!
I hope you had such a fun and fantastic, restful break.
1. Attendance.
2. Warm-Up: Video and Journaling
a) Watch: 20 New Year's Resolution Ideas for 2018
b) Write: On paper or in a Google doc, journal about your new year's resolutions. What would you like to see change this year? What didn’t work last year that you want to do differently this year? Think… health-related, friend-related, family-related, school-related, job-related, personal goal-related. Be as specific as possible. If you don't usually make new year's resolutions, take advantage of this opportunity to just think about yourself and how to make positive changes in your life.
3. Three reasons resolutions fail:
1. Making resolutions based on an external force (society, friends, etc) telling us what to change, rather than something we want to change.
2. Setting ambiguous (vague) goals without clearly defined markers of success.
3. Making unrealistic goals.
(from "How to Stick to New Year's Resolutions." New York Times. 18 Dec 2017.)
4. Fine tuning your list.
Choose one specific goal to focus in on and answer the following questions:
Wish: What do you want?
Outcome: What would the ideal outcome be? What will your life look like when you hit your goal?
Obstacle: You know yourself. What will try to stop you? What has sidelined you before?
Plan: How will you get around the obstacle?
5. Share!
Yay.
6. Course syllabus.
Please read this over. Sign it, have your parents sign it, and return to me on Thursday, 1/11.
7. Exit activity.
See "Exit Ticket 1/9" in the Assignment Dropbox.
