Procedure
Students will discuss a career goal. An example might be that they what to become a musician or writer. They student will have their work from Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 to help them compare their goal (musician or writer, etc.) to what they are at the present time (creative, practical, or analytical). They will compare their talents to one of the achievers. They will then, analyze the tasks and behaviors of the achiever and how his/her behavior affected their achievements. The students create their own behaviors and tasks of how they are going to achieve their goal that will be similar to the achiever. The students will demonstrate this by filling out the graphic organizer called Behavioral Tasks Related to their Goal. After the goals and tasks have been completed, students will fill out a Goal Contract. This needs to be completed before moving on to lesson four.
Closure
Students will discuss their contract with the classroom community. They will identify their tasks and share ideas with their classmates.
