Goals & Motivation Assignment

Please read the following instructions for your Goals & Motivation Assignment. You will be allowed some creativity in regards to how you create your composition.

1.      For this assignment, you will create a composition that is 8.5” x 11” (landscape) and depicts two goals that you have. One will be a long range goal while the other is a short range goal. You can create this assignment by using MS Word, MS Paint, another graphic software program or you may hand draw and color your work. If you decide to hand draw your work, it will need to be scanned into an electronic document for submission.

2.      The long range goal will be one that you want to accomplish within the next five years while the short range goal is one that you want to accomplish within the next year.

3.      You will divide the composition into two halves. Your short range goal will be places on the right side and your long range goal will be placed on the left. For example:

Short Range Goal

Long Range Goal

 

 

4.      State each goal at the top of the halves. Make sure to include the time line for the goal. For example: “Within the year I will learn to swim” or “By the end of the school year, I will have an A average in Math.”

5.      Underneath each goal, identify five reasons why you are motivated to achieve this goal. Include a graphic for each motivation and identify which level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs would be satisfied by each motivation.

6.      You will be graded on your understanding of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, your composition, and your understanding of goals and motivations. A grading rubric has been provided for you on the backside of this page. Please read over it so that you understand how you will be graded.
