Goals For Term 3

Walt: Set Smart goals.
Task: Explain to the audience what you 'NEW SMART GOALS ARE' to make my post successful I need to, 
My writing goal is to... use similes, metaphors and emotive language to create mental images.

The reason I have chosen to focus on this goal is... because in my term 2 report my teacher asked me to focus on this in term 3 and when I read my writing back I find that it is sometimes quite boring. 

I will accomplish my goal by... reading back my story more often and asking a teacher of another person to give me advice when I am stuck. Another thing I think I need to do is find out more about metaphors and emotive langue before I get started with my next piece of writing. 

The people who can help me are... my teachers my parents but most of all me!

I want to have this goal finished by... Well I want to work on emotive langue in the holidays so that when I come back to school I will have that goal AMAZING and then in the first two weeks of school I want to work on metaphors and then in the third week put them in my story!




My reading goal is to... 'play with ideas' by using small group discussions to draw out her opinions and build on them. 

The reason I have chosen to focus on this goal is... This will help me develop inferencing and thinking skills to explore more than one possible answers and make text-words connections.

I will accomplish my goal by...  listing to other peoples conversations and what they talk about and then  say what I want to say and ask them questions about the story and also write down ideas so that I can put them in order.

The people who can help me are... My group of reading buddies my teacher and my parents and anyone else who no's how to have a good discussion around books!

I want to have this goal finished by... The end of the term, it is a goal that I can work towards and get finished by term three.



My maths goal is to... use the place value and double & half strategies in the same want as compensating. 

The reason I have chosen to focus on this goal is... because it will help me figure out a question like 19x100 faster.

I will accomplish my goal by... learning my 8 and six times tables so that I can figure  out the answer to any questions like that, 19x800 faster.

The people who can help me are...  My teacher my parents and my group buddies... But mostly me!


I want to have this goal finished by... The end of the term, it is a goal that I can work towards and get finished by term three.
