Clean out that backpack and plan your life!



9th and 10th graders were given time today to get their binders in order. The binder graders complained that they weren't seeing the student's corrected work or tests filed in the binders. I knew where all that stuff was. At the bottom of their backpacks! So we took about 1/2 the period to just concentrate on getting those binders straightened up and organized. The 9th-graders then had their binder check.

Next I gave them the Life Plan Assignment which is due on Wednesday.

LIFE PLAN ASSIGNMENT

Your assignment is to make a time line of your life. Indicate various milestones in your life by showing what age you plan to achieve these milestones. Some of the milestones you might not ever want (like marriage and/or children, or military or Americorps service). If there are other milestones that are not listed here, please feel free to add them.

Be creative. These are going on the walls of our classroom.

Title your life plan with your name. Example: “Daniel’s Life Plan”

Milestones (in alphabetical order):

AmeriCorps Service
Begin career
Buy first house
College entrance (which college/university do you hope to attend?)
College graduation
First child
First job (part-time or summer job)
Fourth child
Graduate school (after you finish college)
High school graduation
Marriage
Military service
Second child
Third child
