Enrichment:

1. Once a collective goal list is made, have students with similar goals get together in a group. Allow time for the group to discuss concrete ways in which they will accomplish this goal. Conversation should touch on what the steps will look like and sound like, as well as where the steps toward the goal will occur. Furthermore, how will they measure their success and who can help motivate them to keep trying?
