30 Day Challenge

The document outlines a 30-day goal calendar challenge. It instructs students to add important life events and due dates to a calendar, then write a daily goal in one color. If the goal is completed, the student checks the box for that day. If an alternative activity is done instead, a different color is used. The challenge includes a journal to record daily lessons and accomplishments. A post-challenge survey asks students to reflect on what they learned about their topic, themselves, and goal-setting. Additional writing prompts encourage students to write persuasively or informatively about the challenge experience.

30-Day Challenge: Writing Extensions


Directions:
 Choose any TWO prompts that you want from the list below, and write ½-page (single spaced) in
response to EACH one.
 Choose wisely based on your project AND your strengths as a writer!
 Turn in your final draft along with all the other 30DC items on the due date.
 NOTE: These reflections can be informal (including using personal pronouns), but they should
still be thoughtful, well-written, and proofread.

Persuasive:
 Convince me that your 30-Day Challenge was successful. (This might be a good idea if your
challenge didn’t go according to plan or if your growth is hard to measure and show on paper.)

 Persuade me if 30-day challenges are a good idea, whether they’re academic or not.

 Argue what your biggest lesson or takeaway is from this experience and why you feel that way.

 Persuade other students why they should also study the same topic (or take the same action
steps) that you did during your 30-day challenge. (Why is that skill or knowledge beneficial to
other students, and not just you?)

Informative:
 Do light research on 30-Day Challenges (or challenges of other lengths), and tell me more about
them in an unbiased manner. Report on why they might be popular and what value others see
in them. If there are research studies about this or SIMILAR concepts, feel free to cite them.

 Do light research on terms like 20% Time and Genius Hour. Compare and contrast them with a
30-day challenge, and objectively report what the pros and cons of each one might be beneficial
to students like you.

Narrative:
 Tell me the story of a memorable moment from your challenge: perhaps an “aha” moment, a
moment of struggle that turned into a success, or another experience you had while working on
your goals. Make sure your narrative has dialogue and action (and is not just a summary of
events); “show” the moment and help us experience your narrative.

Other:

 Get teacher permission to write about something else. Make sure the genre and content are
appropriate for you and your project.
