  • Share out (5 mins)
    • ​How did you break down your goal?

  • From Goal to Objectives to Activities (25 mins)
    • Split into groups of Math/Science and Lit/Writing/College Prep
    • Together each group will work through the 3rd and 4th sheets. 
    • Start with one person, do a second if you have time.
    • Together, look at that person's work so far. 
    • Together, establish objectives to help reach that goal.
    • Then, utilize the stair chart to help create what the full lesson will look like.
