Writing Portfolio

50 Life Goals (Final Portfolio Requirement)

Throughout your time College Prep, you will continue to discover who you are as a
writer. As a part of your final portfolio, which is a reflection of you as a writer, you will
be required to write 50 life goals. Goal setting is a very important life skill. Goal setting
also utilizes concise language and ideas. The following are a few guidelines for you to
follow as you write:

1. All goals must be written in COMPLETE SENTENCES.

2. You may not start each of your goals the same. For example, you may not
start out numerous goals saying, I want to. In honor of word choice and
sentence fluency (varied sentence beginnings), you will be allowed to only repeat
a beginning twice. So, you could only use the phrase I want to for two out of
your 50 goals.

3. The goals you list need to pertain to you and your life. Think only about
you and where you are standing- about to embark on life. With that in mind, keep
this within human reality.

4. In addition, these goals need to be in the future and outside of high school
life. Passing this class or writing your 50 life goals does not count.

5. Use your language skills to be as clear and concise as possible when

writing your goals.

6. Be creative! The sky is the limitliterally, so have some fun!
