Future Goals Writing Prompt

What are your goals that you've set for yourself for the future?  You can either choose one goal and focus on three-four main points on how you plan to achieve this one ultimate goal OR you can write a persuasive essay about three short term to long term goals you have for yourself, why you've set these goals, what you hope to accomplish, and what you have to do to succeed.  Once you reach these goals, how do you think your life will benefit?  Think about all these areas of this topic when writing your essay: What are your personal life goals that you've set for yourself for the future? Today we are going to brainstorm in class.  You may fill out your web via the computer like last week (click on:  http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/persuasion_map/)  and email it to me at Laura.Enos@fpsmail.org or you may write out your ideas using a hard copy version of the brainstorming map that will be provided for you upon request. 

 

Tomorrow in class we will be in the lab.  You will be writing on this prompt COMPLETELY UNASSISTED as a pre-formative assessment to get a baseline as where you, individually are as a writer when you have to independently complete the task on your own in a timed period.  Good Luck!
