SUMMER SCHOOL SMART GOALS 2019

Click on this link to take you to our summer school Padlet page. When you get there, you must:

1. double click on the canvas and write out your REVISED SMART goal
2. upload an image that demonstrates your mindset in reaching this goal (e.g a lion that represents STRENGTH, a football that represents GOAL etc). Be creative

Now that you have written your SMART goal, please revisit the Padlet page above. Read and briefly note-take on at least two of your classmates postings.  

Based on your notes, choose ONE classmate's post to comment on in this blog.

To comment on a blog, 
Scroll to the bottom of your page where you see the dialog box that says "Comment"
Write your first and last names in the box BEFORE you begin to comment
Begin to write (in standard English, free of basic errors) about your classmate's post. Name the classmate, summarize what the person has written, and THEN RESPECTFULLY react to it (what you like about the person's post, why you have chosen to respond to this PARTICULAR post, what are the strengths of the post or why it resonates with you, and finally any suggestions you might have for the person to improve his/her post). Your suggestion MUST be something constructive that would help the person; for example, you may say "While your SMART goal has most of the qualities of a SMART goal, you could have included the conditions under which your SMART goal will be achieved, because this is vague to your reader."

Remember to take a look at the Blog rubric BEFORE you begin so that you can be reminded on how your blog will be assessed for this activity!

Happy Blogging!

      Even though you didn't put your name or the other person's name I like that you gave them feedback as to what you liked from their goal which was their timeline and that the picture they chose doesn't contribute to their goal. But, Next time I feel like you should add your name and the other person's as well . Then you should explain how "22 the gzz" doesn't contribute to their goal so they can put another picture with the help of your feedback.

    I like he image you have chosen for your goal. The use of a guy climbing up stairs shows determination needed to achieve any goal. Without determination many people would give up on going forward towards their goals.

      Nathan I like that you told Ravi that his image was perfect for his goal and that as you read you had some questions . Next time you should add question marks after your questions and go into more detail as to why you feel like that picture matches perfectly with his goal.

    Nathan I like that you put the time you want to achieve your goal and time is very important but the image you choose was not the right choice in English

  6. Ernst Volcy: tahgie, I like the image you chose of a person climbing a ladder reaching for the goal. It shows that the person will keep climbing until he/she reaches the goal but your message doesn't show the measure like how much time you are going to spend on it and what percent of POV are you going to use. For example you should have said I will find the POV 80% of the time I am asked to.

      What you are saying is true of how good the image is of climbing to your goal, but Tahgie is not focused on finding the author's POV, he wants to do the points in annotation.

  7. Marcelino Rivera- Dariel valdez the image you picked was appropriate for your goal. The puzzle piece in his hand and the bridge he had to pass to walk through just explained that he can achieve his goal but he haves to put in the work.The only thing that you could've done better if you had put a specific date then just July 2019.

    Joseph I like that you gave yourself until August to achieve your goal because that's enough time especially if you feel like by the end of July is not enough time for you .Although you have an achievable goal and a good time frame , your picture does not show somebody working towards a goal . I say that because a picture of words saying "on point" with a arrow going down doesn't show somebody working upwards to achieve their goal . For example, maybe you should've put somebody starting from the bottom and making their way up by climbing a mountain or something that's related to starting from the bottom and making a way up .

    Tahgie, I like the image that you chose for your goal. The use of climbing to a specific point in your goal shows accuracy and determination which is needed to accomplish a goal, because without it you don't grasp the intensity or complete your goal. I also like that your goal shows how you will apply it. The only concerns that are present are that there is no specific date of when you would want it to end, an exact date would be good so you can be aware of the deadline of your goal. Also your goal is too hard to complete because getting all 7 pointers is intense to accomplish, we want a goal that is not too easy but we don't want a goal that stresses us out. If you achieve a little less like 4 or 5 pointers then it would be more attainable.

    Nathan I like how you included date for when you will accomplish your goal so that you will be reminded to work. I also like how you included the specific area that you want to work on. But i also think that maybe you should put a percentage to show how often you will use the 7 pointers while reading a text. Even though i like the rapper maybe you should use a different picture that's more relatable to the topic that you were talking about.

  12. Marcelino Rivera- I agree with your example about how he should've chosen a image that is more related to achieving a goal because if you are trying to achieve a goal there is steps you have to take, so someone climbing a mountain is more efficient to the goal.

    Marcelino, I like the image you have chosen for your goal. the use of roads shows the steps you must take to success/achieving that goal, without this most people would give up on going forward towards their goals.
    The only concern is the image you chose just shows roads curved towards each other with different arrows leading to the goal,but your message doesn't show how much time/how long you are going to spend on it. I believe that if this measure is included your goal would be more specific.

  14. Tziah Sinmpson-Johnathan Guiracocha the goal you have set is specific and has clear direction.The use of words like "would" only means you'll stick to your goal.You also stated a clear time you'll achieve your goal that being the end of summer.The only problem I have is the image.The use of a "crow" doesn"t connect with goal achievement.Next time explain the use of your images.

  15. Edgar Rosas-Edgar Rojas the goal that you have set is understandable specific and straight to the point. As for the picture I can see how it sort of related to the goal

    Ravi Roopnarine I like your image you chose for your goal it matched perfectly.so I started to read your goal and I see that u are missing a big feature so how long are going to work on this and how much percent are you going to put in your goal.

  17. ALBERT MARTINEZ-

    Latchell Prescott your goal is timely,and measurable because you said july 2019 you will have 4 to 5 facts in the piece.The issue is i dont know what you mean by "in the piece" its not specific.

    Amiyah Gordon-Moore I like the image you have chosen for your goal, The use of someone climbing shows the strength and ability needed to reach your goal, I also like that You added a timeline to reaching your goal. :)

  19. Nathan Williams I like how your goal is specific and you clearly state what you want to accomplish and when you want it done by but the goal is not measurable because you did not provide a measure.

    Dariel Valdez, I like the image that you chose for your goal. The image of an a missing piece of a puzzle that a person has in its hand shows that you want to accomplish your goal by putting the piece to complete your goal.I also like that your goal has a timeline so you would remember the amount of time to finish it.The only problem is that you did not explain is if this goal is achievable. By explaining can this goal be accomplished? and also what are the logic steps you should take? These questions will help you find what your missing out.

    Analysha Marie, I Liked the image that you chose for your goal.The image with the lady climbing reaching her goal.It shows how each step you are progressing and striving towards your goal. I also like how you had a time frame for completing your goals.My only problem with the goal is that you made the goal sound easy.

    Efrain Rodriguez, I Liked the set time you picked for your goal because it shows how hard working you will be to achieve this goal. The image sits well with your goals because it shows achievement which is somethingn you wanna do by the end of July. My problem is that I feel you can get higher than a 80-85 most likely you can get in the 90s range.

  29. i agree with your comment because you are very spefic and get straight to the point and very clear about your postion. You also point of that the writer had steps to the goal in the picture. And you gave great critism when you said "your message doesnt show how much time your going to spend on your goal" this was are very great comment and I agree with your comment too.

    Analysha Marie I like the picture you have chosen for your goal because it shows how you are going to achieve your goal step by step.Because your picture show someone going up step by step improving and getting better. But i think you could improve on drawing the conclusion by reading more.
