It could be done in class, or assigned as independent work. This activity should take you 5-10 minutes to set up and should take students 25 minutes to complete.

Learning Objectives

Students should be able to:

  1. Check off item(s) on their To Do List(s)
  2. Reflect

Materials

Students:

  • Internet-connected computer

Instructors:

  • Internet-connected computer

Advanced Preparation

No advanced preparation is required.

💡
Note: For this activity, students will be working on checking items off their To Do List(s) and taking real world, concrete steps towards accomplishing their goals. Therefore, the majority of the time they will spend on this activity will likely be outside of CareerVillage. They will use the To Do List(s) they created on CareerVillage to remain organized and have a basis for what they need to do. As a result, there is no need to create an assignment on CareerVillage.

Begin the activity

Step 1: Email instructions to your students

To assign the activity to your students, email them:

  • This web page for the activity plan
  • Ask your students to share a reflection (usually a short 1-5 sentence written response to a prompt)
  • Instructions on how you'd like to receive their reflections
  • Reflection prompt (ie: What progress have you made on checking things off your to do list? If you haven't made progress, why?)
  • A reminder that they should keep track of their reflections so that they can read them later which will help them for their Project Status Reports and the "growth" portion of their Final Presentation.
