Organizational Blueprints Plan

Objective: The student will be able to apply organizational skills to a real life problem.

Activity: Organizational Blueprints. Together, students brainstorm things in their lives which need to be organized. These are then listed on the board. Possible answers include: locker, notebook, my room, CDs and CD stuff, baseball cards, clothes . . .. Students are then asked to select one area of their lives for which organizational plans can be developed. Once selected, students are to make organizational plans, or blueprints, for their related items. These plans are then to be turned into the type of poster designed for organizing a locker.

Assessment: Evaluation of the student's ability to apply these skills is based upon his/her final plans.
