Using the acronym TARGET, students analyze a number of potential health goals. The TARGET method, outlined in the box below, provides steps to reach goals. Students review the health goals, decide if they are realistic, and discuss what might need to occur to reach the goal. Students select two personal health goals and analyze them using the TARGET method. Pair students with similar goals to share their goal plans.

 

 

Variation: Students write a story or diary about how they achieved their goal.
