Your Vision
Board Project
Analyze ways to manage personal and
material resources to achieve goals
Outline elements of effective management
Purpose:
• As a class, we will reflect on our needs,
wants, and values to gather some ideas
about long-term and short-term goals .
• Once we have brainstormed our goals, we
will create a “vision board” to help us
visualize your goals to ultimately inspire
and encourage us to meet our goals!
What you will need:
•
•
•
•
Scissors
Glue
Magazine pictures
Any Decorations (stickers,
postcards, scrapbook
paper or materials)
• Note cards
• Pen, Marker, Color Pencils
• Storage envelope
• And most importantly:
Your Visions for your
Goals!!!
Step 1: Mapping Your Visions
• For this project, you
are required to have:
– 5 Long-term Goals
– 5 Short-term Goals
• The first step to
working towards this
project is to “map”
your visions on the
“My Vision Board
Sketch” Activity.
Step 2: Use Empowering
Statements!
• For each of your long and
•
•
short term goals, create a
statement of intention on a
note card in which you will
attach to your vision board.
Write neatly in pen or type,
this will go on your Vision
board! Store in envelope.
An example would be “I am
successfully completing my
freshman year with all A’s &
B’s.
Step 3: Collecting your Visuals
• Using scissors and magazines, collect pictures in addition
•
•
to the decorative materials you have provided.
Remember to use your Vision Board Sketch Sheet to
help you find what each goal “looks like.”
Store your pictures in an envelope until time to glue
down.
Step 4: Planning Your Board
• Lay your pictures out the way you would like to glue
•
•
them down.
Try and cover your whole board with pictures like a
collage.
Its always a good idea to plan before you permanently
glue to make sure you have enough room 
Step 5: Gluing your pictures to
your board
• Glue pictures first then glue your statements of
•
intention on top.
Make sure you get all the edges smoothed
down.
Step 6: Making your Vision Board
Goals come true!
• If you want to keep your board for a long time, put it in
•
•
•
a frame or laminate. Then put it somewhere you will
look at it daily!
Each day, look at your board and reflect on your goals.
Watch as your visions become real and celebrate your
victories!
We will revisit your goals in November!
