Goal Setting (hand out)
Students complete top section
This is a good video of Diana Nyad and completing
her swim. This would be a great way to start a goal
setting discussion.

Short 2 1/2 minute doodle of goal setting. I use some
of the other doodles, and they are fast paced and
keep kids engaged.

This one is on the power of positive thinking. I like
TED videos, and I think this guy is funny. The most
relevant part is closer to the end and why they need
to start thinking positively.
