Dreams and Goals

Please teach me to:

• Tell you about a person who has faced difficult challenges and achieved success
• Respect and admire people who overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams and goals (e.g. through disability)

Look at the picture cards below.  Which person do you think is facing the biggest challenge?

What is a challenge?  Do you know anyone who is facing a challenge?  Are you facing a challenge?  Can you rank the cards from least to most challenging?

Who do you think is facing the greatest challenge?  Choose one picture and write one or two sentences for each of these points. These could be written in the first person, as if you were the person telling the story.

• Introduce the person, their name and their challenge.

• Describe how the person feels about facing the challenge.

• Describe how the person achieves the challenge.

• Describe how the person feels when they have been successful.
