Clean Slate: 9th Grade Launch Curriculum - 39

unit 1: academic success chain of events

lesson procedure
motivation: specific goals (5 minutes)
oBJective: StUDEntS WILL DISCUSS hoW to MAKE GoALS SPECIfIC.

on the board (or on a piece of chart paper) have a column of five "W"s listed. Ask students if they have ever
heard of using the "5 Ws" when writing a story. As a clue you can tell them what one of the Ws stands for:
Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
Explain that the 5 Ws can be used when establishing goals.
Read this example of a goal to the entire class:
* Goal 1: Work out.
then ask the class if the statement above answers all 5 of the Ws. When the students see that the goal is not
clear, repeat the same step after reading the more SPECIfIC goal out loud:
* Goal 2: I will join my local gym and make sure to work out at least three times a week with my friends
and lose five pounds.
the second goal is clearer and the 5 Ws can be answered. then try this activity again using the following goal
examples:
* Goal 1: Do better in school.
Again, read the following goal and ask students if the goal answers all 5 Ws.
* Goal 2: I will meet with Mr. Brown after school in the cafeteria to review mistakes I made in my
homework so that I can improve my assignment grade.
to wrap up, remind students that the more specific they are in setting goals, the easier it is to see how close/far
they are from achieving them. Whether it is about a class or health, SPECIfIC goals should be able to answer the
5 Ws.

direct instruction: transcript terms (5 minutes)
oBJective: StUDEntS WILL DEfInE tRAnSCRIPt, CREDIt, GPA, AnD CLASS RAnK.

Explain to students that one way high school success is measured is through academic performance.
tell students that a transcript is an official record of high school academic performance. transcripts generally
identify the course names and/or levels, credits earned, and grades received for each course. transcripts can be
arranged chronologically or by subject area.
Let students know that, as 9th graders, their transcripts are currently blank, sort of like a "clean slate." But as
their high school careers continue, each semester their transcripts will be filled in with information about how
they've performed. Review the important transcript terms given. then, add any other terms that students need
to know to understand your high school's transcript system on the "other" lines.
Important information on your transcript includes:
* number of credits received - Define credit as a unit of measure used by schools to explain how much
a class is worth towards graduation. Many schools base GPA as well as tuition charges on the number of
credits hours taken. "My physics class counts for three credits."
