Anatomy for a New Year: Goal-Setting Activity

This engaging, anatomy themed goal-setting activity is perfect for back-to-school or New Year motivation! Students use a creative "human body" outline as a metaphor for setting personal and academic goals, while exploring how each body part connects to their aspirations.
