Have Ms. Kirk (or another teacher) check your outline before you continue

Now you need to go back into EACH one of your note cards and add to each.

**In the bottom part of the note card, there is a section called "My Ideas." You will look at the information you have on each note card and decide which of the 3 categories that note card will go into - Interests, Skills or Goals.

  1. Write the category first in the "My Ideas" section. Then, write a brief sentence WHY that card goes with that section... something like this...

Interests - I love to help other people and teaching would allow me to do that

OR

Skills - I'm good at organizing

OR

Goals - This $ amount will let me have the style of life I want

  1. Now, go back to the top of the card. In the upper right section, type the word Interests, Skills or Goals (which ever applies to that card) where is says Tags
  1. After you add the My Ideas part to each card, tag the card with the correct sections so you can sort it into one of 3 new piles
  1. RESORT your cards into the 3 new categories - Interests, Skills and Goals
  1. Go through EACH of your 40 note cards and add these parts to each card
  1. Now, take out the very first paper we did - the one where you had to think of 7-10 Interests, 7-10 Skills and 7-10 Goals
  1. Choose 5 Interests that match up with what you have described in the My Ideas section of each card

Your final step is to drag and drop each note card into the section where it belongs
