Final GAME Plan Post

The GAME Plan proved to be very beneficial to me as I began preparing for the school year. I focused my GAME Plan on finding websites that had WebQuests or another form of lesson supplement. I also focused on coming up with a plagiarism policy for my 5th graders. The game plan has really helped improve my planning for the beginning of the school year. I feel that the WebQuests I found are going to be great as we begin our curriculum. The plagiarism policy I have developed is going to help my students learn how to correctly use sources in their writing and work.

The GAME Plan has also shown me how to implement a positive goal setting plan for my students. It has shown me the steps I should take to help prepare my students for setting and achieving their goals.

Using the GAME Plan Process with Students

The GAME Plan could be used to help students self-monitor their own learning. Students could set goals for things they want to accomplish throughout the school year. We could set both short term and long term goals. Then, the students could write an action plan to describe how they are going to achieve their goals. Students would then begin implementing their action plan, and when the time arises, I could model for the students how to revise their GAME Plan as needed. I think that the GAME Plan would be very beneficial in the classroom.

Revising My GAME Plan

As I have been working on my GAME Plan, I have come rather far in finding the information that I need for plagiarism and lessons that will be beneficial for my students. I am not yet ready to be revising my GAME Plan because I have not been able to actively use my findings. I want time to be able to use the lessons that I found for my students, and I want time to begin implementing my new plagiarism policy. Once I begin implementing these ideas, I will know what steps need to be taken to revise my plan so that it will work better.
