Personal+Attributes

Submitted by Linda Hulen Grade: 5-6 Lesson: Personal Attributes Lesson Standard(s): 1B Student demonstrates awareness of their personal traits and 2D Student demonstrates ability to set and achieve goals.

Pre Teach: Attribute webs – What are some activities or learning experiences you’ve been successful doing?

Make a list of these tonight. For each one, also list all the things you did that helped you be successful

Lesson Steps: You remember the goal/attribute webs that we showed you yesterday… Take your list, turn to a partner and share something from your list.

Together, the two of you brainstorm a list of attributes that would apply to your successes…

Share those for a class list….

Now pick one of your successes….identify the attributes that apply and include a phrase for each that tells why that attribute was important to your success. What did you do that required that attribute?

Make a list or go right to the webbing.

Create a web of your attributes that contributed to your success, include the phrases Use colors Look at the attributes that contributed to your goal. Think back to when you were working on this. Reconstruct the action plan that you used. If you remember any parts of what you did, the steps you took, include those as part of your action plan.

Are there parts of this you are still working on?

Extension: Create illustrated attribute cards to hang over our tables … with the word and a sketch….

Homework: What makes a good goal? How do you decide if something is worth working for? How do you decide what goals to set? Make 2 lists: things you think might be good goals. Things you think would not be goals. What are your reasons for each list?
