Part of Lesson Plan: Long term planning for SAE programs.
Activity Overview / Details
Ask students to pull out a blank piece of paper. Give them 30 seconds to brainstorm and write down everything that comes to mind about the word "success". While they do this, erase everything off of your white board. Write the word success up there and draw a small box around it to frame it. Make sure you have several markers available for them to use. Once the 30 seconds is up, have students pick anywhere between 1 and 4 words from their list (depending on the size of your class) and have them write those associated words on the board around the word "success". After they've completed this, review the words they chose. Ask them what they can do NOW to ensure those words, and specifically 'success', becomes a reality for them in the future. What can they create that will guide them in the direction they want to head? They can create a plan. Today's lesson will have us do exactly that! We'll take the information we've learned about SAEs and develop a master plan
