There is a saying that states, “If you write it down, it is more likely to come true.”In the teaching field, I get several students who come into my classroom with different objectives. Some students want to make an A, others just want to pass, some want to make a speech without fainting, etc..  Over the semesters, I found that only half of my students accomplish what they set out to do. Some students wind up with certain circumstances (illness, work, poor romantic relationship choices etc.) that interferes with their coursework, but for the students, who are perfectly capable of achieving their goal(s), they sometimes fall short of their goal(s). So I decided to try something innovative and creative with my students. It is a three- part activity, which I hope you and your students will benefit as much as mine did.
