Goal setting and perseverance review gives Grade 6 students a structured way to reflect on monthly goals, identify evidence of progress, recognize obstacles, and plan specific next steps. Designed as a Holiday resource for an end-of-month reflection or Portfolio Day, this worksheet connects goal review with the idea that perseverance means continuing toward a goal while adjusting actions when setbacks appear.

What students work with

Students begin with an informational reading passage that explains clear and measurable goals, evidence of progress, common obstacles, revision strategies, and ongoing development. The passage also uses Abraham Lincoln as a historical example of facing setbacks, learning from feedback, and continuing toward long-term plans.

The practice moves through multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, short-answer responses, matching, and an extended response. Students identify measurable goals, explain why evidence matters, recognize obstacles such as lack of time or forgetting steps, and select practical strategies such as setting reminders, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and asking for help.

Reflection that leads to action

The extended response asks students to apply the process to a monthly reading goal. They identify evidence they could look for, name the obstacle affecting their progress, and describe one specific next step that would make the plan more doable. This gives students practice turning reflection into an actionable goal revision rather than simply stating whether they succeeded.
