going through.
3. Engaging in conversation and repeating what I heard back to the person I am talking to. Making sure
that the person is being heard as well as feels like they are being heard.

Section 3: Below, please list the individual contributions you would like to make on Do Good Now course
project. Make sure you’re goals are “SMART” Goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time
bound)
1. I would like to create an easy way for my teammates and I to communicate and submit work through
weekly check-ins and communicating through our group chat.
2. I would like to provide my teammates with at least 5 sources relating to our topic that we can use to
complete our project with accurate information.
3. I would like to create a project that is visually appealing and eye catching so that I will always have the
audience’s attention.

Section 4: Resources: Below, make a list of the resources that you can utilize in order to meet the goals
you have listed above (Who or what may help you achieve your goals?)
1. Teachers and mentors can help me achieve my goals because they can give me advice and point me in
the right direction of my goals.

2. Obtaining extra education and certifications can help me achieve my goals. If that is hard for me to do,
then reading books and going to the library can definitely help me achieve my goals.
3. Another resource that I can utilize is the internet. I can find all the information I want on the internet
and make sure that I utilize the information I receive for my goals.
