My strengths are:
* Locating topic sentences in a passage
* Writing a biased passage
* Determine whether the passage is biased or not
My areas of improvement are:
* Be more prepared present by NOT reading from slide to slide (work habits)
* Writing the evidence in TEE. Include journalistic questions if the passage has no evidence (knowledge)
My goal for Social Studies is to improve my TEEs on evidence by locating evidence and mentioning the evidence in the passage. (determine whether the passage has evidence or not) I will improve this by looking at interesting articles and locating evidence in the passage, by the end of the 3rd Unit in Social Studies.
My goal is to not throw trash at all in the rubbish/non-recycling bins. Discard trash in the recycling bins. This should be accomplished by the end of the 1st Semester. This shall help orphanages to use that recycling items for any purpose.

Remember that a SMART goal is:
ReplyDeleteS = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable/Achievable
R = Realistic
T = Timely
* Specific - Goals should be straightforward and emphasize what you want to happen. Specifics help us to focus our efforts and clearly define what are we going to do. What are you going to do? Why is this important to do at this time? What do you want to ultimately accomplish? How are you going to do it? Ensure that the goal you set is specific and easy. For example: This is a general goal, "I want to lose weight"; this is a specific goal, "I want to lose two centimeters off my waistline" or "Walk five miles at an aerobically challenging pace."
ReplyDelete* Measurable - If you cannot measure it, then you cannot manage it. In the broadest sense, the whole goal statement is a measure for the project; if the goal is accomplished, the goal is a success. However, there are usually several short-term or small measurements that can be built into a goal. Choose a goal with measurable progress, therefore you can see the change occur. How will see when you reach your goal? Be specific. For example: This is NOT a measurable and specific goal, "I want to be a good reader," and this is a goal that is specific and measurable, "I want to read 3 Chapter books of 100 pages before my birthday." Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goals.
* Attainable - When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop that attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. Your begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals. Goals you set which are too far out of your reach, you probably won't commit to doing. Although you may start with the best of intentions, the knowledge that it's too much for you means your subconscious will keep reminding you of this fact and will stop you from even giving it your best. A goal needs to stretch you slightly so you feel you can do it and it will need a real commitment from you. For instance, if you aim to lose 20 pounds in one week, we all know that isn't achievable. But setting a goal to lose 1 pound and when you've achieved that, aiming to lose a further 1 pound, will keep it achievable for you. The feeling of success which this brings helps you to remain motivated.
* Realistic - This is not a synonym for "easy." Realistic, in this case, means "do-able." It means that the learning curve is not a vertical slope; that the skills needed to do the work are available; that the project fits with the overall strategy and goals of the organization. A realistic project may push the skills and knowledge of the people working on it but it shouldn't break them. Devise a plan or a way of getting there which makes the goal realistic. The goal needs to be realistic for you and where you are at the moment. A goal of never again eating sweets, cakes, crisps and chocolate may not be realistic for someone who really enjoys these foods. For instance, it may be more realistic to set a goal of eating a piece of fruit each day instead of one sweet item. You can then choose to work towards reducing the amount of sweet products gradually as and when this feels realistic for you. Be sure to set goals that you can attain with some effort! Too difficult and you set the stage for failure, but too low sends the message that you aren't very capable. Set the bar high enough for a satisfying achievement!
* Timely - Set a timeframe for the goal: for next week, in three months, by fifth grade. Putting an end point on your goal gives you a clear target to work towards. If you don't set a time, the commitment is too vague. It tends not to happen because you feel you can start at any time. Without a time limit, there's no urgency to start taking action now. Time must be measurable, attainable and realistic as well.
A suggestion to achieve your TEEs goal is to practice, practice, practice! Read news articles and highlight important information, locate examples and evidence, and also try to locate the author's bias. Keep on re-submitting, and then you shall be proficient at this skill.
