 * Assessments/Activities:**

__Gathering__: Ask students to meet at the carpet area. Share that today you will be talking about goal setting and how it is an important factor in achieving your dreams. Ask students to share what they know about the Iditarod, and what type of person and it takes to run the Iditarod. __Activity__: Read the story to students. As you are reading through the story, discuss how Libby Riddles had a goal, and that she took many steps to achieve that goal. Explain to students that measurable steps are important in goal setting. Ask students to think about a life goal that they have for themselves. After reading and discussing the story, get out a piece of chart paper, and work with students in a whole class setting to create a summary of the steps Libby Riddles took to win the Iditarod. Remember to model starting at the end with the goal in mind. Discuss each step she took and how it played an important part in her lifelong goal of winning the Iditarod. Then share your own goal-setting chart and how you got to where you are today (teaching, running a marathon, buying a home, or other accomplished goal). Discuss your personal steps that were needed to take in order to achieve your goal. Following the summary of the book and the modeling of goal setting, have students practice independently with a large-scale goal of their own. Give them the attached “goal map”, and have them fill in their goal at the end of the map. Then, ask them to fill in the map with the steps that they’re going to take to reach that goal. __Debrief/Closing__: Have students share their goal setting maps with a partner or the class.

Level 3.0 – Student is able to set an end goal and include measurable objectives to meet that goal. Level 2.0 – With assistance, student is able to set a goal. Steps to meet the goal may or may not be measurable or of impact to said goal.
