T1W5 Journal Writing: Target Setting

Hi Everyone,

We have set our targets for the various subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science and Mother Tongue. For this week, I would like you to reflect on this exercise.

As usual, I will list some questions to help you with the reflection.

1. What is the purpose of setting targets for the various subjects?

2. Do you think this is useful? If 'Yes', why? If not, why?

3. How did you go about setting the targets for yourself?

4. What are you doing to help you achieve your target? Do you have a plan? If so, what is it?

5. How are your parents helping you achieve your targets?

6. What will you do to motivate yourself towards achieving the targets?

7. What do you think your teacher/the school can help you achieve the targets?

Waiting anxiously to read your response.

Best wishes,
Mr Ng

    I think the purpose of setting targets is to help us to do our best to strive for the targets . I think is useful but usually , if you did not achieve your targets , your parents , teachers and even you will be dissapointed .

    I didn't set targets by myself , My form teacher and my tuition teacher set a target for me since i don't have targets , but since the targets given by the both teachers are different i decided to go for the best i can .

    I am reading more books and revise more than usual . I have really a plan , my plan is to do assessments after finishing my homework and hand in homework in time .

    My parents are helping me achieving my targets by helping me to understand some question that i didn't know how to do .

    I am gonna read more books during my free time to motivate myself towards achieving my targets .

    The school can help me to achieve the targets by asking us to read books during silent reading .

  7. If we have target settings we can gert many types of results.
    Yes,so that we can strive for a better results.
    I set results which are more that 75.
    My plan would be to watch less tv do more assesments.
    My parents would explain to me and then I would do the rest by myself.
    I will have to learn more things.
    They can help me if i have passion for learning.

  9. The pupose of setting a target to every single subject is that you know hot much you want to get near to and compare with the one you have.I think it is useful, because you it shows how much you want to get and how much you have been studying and get the actual and see if it is near, or far away from your target.I wrote my targets in my handbook and try to see if I can get near to it. it also shows how much I have been understanding the subjects.I have a plan to join tuitions and also study more the subjects that I am not good at.My parent can actually help me with giving some quizzes or teaching me Science , Mother Toungue and more!I think the school could make more activities that include the different kinds of subjects.

  11. Hello Eveyone,
    Today I am going to tell you about target setting.Target setting is important because by setting it you can slowly progress towards success.
    I think that this is useful becaus eit makes you more hard-working.
    I went abot by setting a few marks higher than my previous results.
    I will achieve my target by reading more books.I think that this is useful because it improves my knowledge.
    My parents help me by telling me what I got wrong.
    To motivate myself towards achieving the targets I will be hardworking.
    The teachers can tell me more about what I do not know.
    That is all I have to say.Hope you have enjoyed it.

    5. They teach me my work and send me to go for tution.

    6. I will study hard to strive my targets.

  14. Amelia here.^^

    I think the purpose of setting targets for the various subjects is to improve on our weak subjects. If we set them, we will know what is our targets and we will work hard and strive hard to get that target.

    I think setting targets for ourselves this is very useful as it will know how much did we improve when we strive hard for our targets.

    I set my targets myself by putting them more then what I got from last year's results.

    I am going to work harder and spend more time on studying to help myself achieve my targets,

    My parents help me to achieve my targets by encouraging me that I can do it, be confident in myself and sending me to tuition classes.

    I will think of all the great rewards I will get if I strive hard to achieve my targets to motivate myself towards achieving my targets.

    I think my teachers or school can help me achieve my targets by teaching us better and reading more books.

    That is all I have to say!

    Bye!=)

    I think setting targets are good.

    I hope to get at least 3 band 1////1 band 2!

    I will work super hard! I will study more than my usual style!

    My parents bought assesment books for me and I have been going to tuition classes.I also think that the school can help us by giving us more revision papers. Reading more books is also part of studying.

    I really hope to acheive good results.
