Before handing it in · check

Four things I check

☐
The verb be agrees: I am, she is, they are.
☐
After going to the verb is in its base form.
☐
Each goal has its preference first and so in the middle.
☐
There is one negative goal and two vocabulary words.
Level up · coach tip

Write, then say it without the paper

Every written sentence should become a spoken one. Write your plan, read it twice, cover it and say it. If you can't say it, the sentence is too long: cut it in two. Speaking is the final test of writing.
Level up · reading · A Goal Plan That Works

Experts who study motivation say that a goal without steps is only a wish. Santiago, a ninth grader from Cali, wrote his goal plan last week. His main goal: «I am going to study marine biology». His evidence: he has volunteered at a turtle sanctuary twice and he loves it. His steps: first, he is going to raise his science grade this term; then, he is going to do an internship at the aquarium in the summer; by 2029, he is going to apply to a university on the Pacific coast. He is not going to give up video games, but he is going to play less during exam weeks.
