  9. CLUSTER • Put each of your top two goals from each category into a cluster circle on separate sheets of paper (one per goal, leaving room under the cluster for a quickwrite that you’ll do later). • For each goal, brainstorm • what you are doing or have done that will help you meet that goal & • Steps you still need to take • You will have EIGHT (8) different clusters

  10. High School Goal #1 Highlighted from list Questions to Consider, next Slide… Cluster Example What I’ve Already done Steps I still Need to take What I am Doing Right now • Took summer school last year • Took HA in middle school • Earn at least a B by studying my notes • Take the SAT next year • Enrolled in honors English

  12. RESEARCH • For each of your clusters (all 8 of them) list any questions you have about the goal. What information do you need to know? For example, • If your goal is to become a teacher, what is a good teaching school? • If your goal is to major in criminal justice, are there any classes to take at DC that can prepare you? • If your goal is to be a fire fighter, what kind of degree would be best?
