One Word Goals

Meredith Akers shared One Word Goals recently in her blog, Grow, Reflect, Share. One Word Goals is a collaborative slides activity that Meredith used to create New Year's resolutions with her students. Students were asked to choose one word that they would focus on for the remainder for the year. This word should apply to different parts of their life to help them improve themselves as a person. Some examples she gave included disciplined and  joyful.

I created this example to share.

This is an independent activity that students complete within a shared google slides document. Add their name, choose and input their choice word, explain what the words means to them, identify 2 ways to apply this word to their life, and insert and picture or icon to represent the word. Meredith includes direction slides and models within this document as well.

Here is the link that will allow you access to the One Word Goals Template.

I think this could also be used to create goals related to school. Students could select words that would have them be more successful in school, like persevere, encourage, growth, and write goals that would help them improve in an academic area.
