Assignment

To show that you can reach the learning targets of this lesson, you will be using the SMART goal format to set one healthy-living short-term goal and one healthy living long-term goal. You will plan your goal, think about obstacles and how you will overcome them, and have a way to tell that you have achieved each goal. Creating goals that are SMART make them easier to achieve.

You may write your answers in this document or make an audio or video recording to share your responses. You could even have your home facilitator interview you in a “talk show” format but be sure to plan out your responses first.

Assessment: 8 possible marks. Your short-term goal and your long-term goal will each be assessed on a four-point scale.

            4/4 Work demonstrates superior understanding, goal statements are stated in SMART terms, action plan is detailed and logical, obstacles and solutions are well thought-out, and progress on the short-term goal is being carefully tracked.

            ¾ Work fully meets expectations, evidence of good understanding of SMART terms, action plan is complete, some obstacles and solutions are addressed, and progress on the short-term goal is being tracked.

            2/4 Work demonstrates minimal understanding, may be inconsistent or need support in some areas.

Submission Options:

• Attach computer document using the drop box provided.

How To Submit A Recording:

• On your computer, use a simple voice recording program (such as Audacity) or a web-based service (such as vocaroo.com) and send your teacher an mp3 or link.
• On a smart phone or tablet, use a video or voice recorder. Email or upload the recording.
• Record using a camera with video capabilities. Upload to your computer; then submit.
• Phone or meet with your teacher to present your poetry reading.

If Completing Your Assignment On Paper:

• Scan and attach assignment as one big .pdf file.
• Drop your work off with your teacher. (Also a great idea, but more difficult to return.)
• If no other way works, pull out your phone and take pictures. (Make them good pictures; then embed them all into a single word document.)

Scanning:

If you have a new scanner and are trying to figure out the best way to scan your work for submission, here are some tips:

• Paper Size: 8.5 x 11 inches (most typical - or can re-size later)
• Colour Format: Grayscale (keeps file smaller then color, yet still clear)
• File Type: PDF (best), or JPG (if PDF isn't available)
• Resolution: 150 or 200 (can use 300 if small details don't show with 150/200)
