Vision Board Project

As my college students end the semester, I struggle with finding a meaningful assignment that provides reflection, but also reinforces the writing concepts covered in class. I happened upon this assignment (like I do most). My cousin mentioned creating a vision board to help her focus on her at-home business. A quick Google search pulled up a Vision Board Assignment which I altered slightly and added a personal narrative writing assignment. I included a picture of my own vision board as well.

I.  Vision Board

What is a vision board?

A vision board is a collection of images/phrases that represent what you want in the FUTURE.

It is all about YOU and what YOU want.

What it is NOT:

·         A collage of things you like

Some categories to think about:

·   Words of affirmation

·   Health

·   Spirituality

·   Career/College

·   Travel

·   Home/Lifestyle

·   Where you'd like to live

·   Future family/significant other/friends

Assignment Requirements

You may choose one of two options:

1.    Create a digital vision board using Microsoft Word or Publisher

                   OR

2.    Use a poster board and magazines to create your vision board (if you

choose this option you must provide your own poster board!)

Minimum number of images:  10

Minimum number of words of affirmation:  5

Things to remember –

·         Fill up the entire space…don’t leave white space

·         Put a considerate amount of effort into this assignment

·         If you are creating a digital version – SAVE OFTEN!

·         Remember – you don’t have to know right now HOW you’re going to get these things…you’ll figure that out along the way. You just need a place to start.

II.            Personal Narrative

You will compose a five paragraph essay which reflects on your Vision Board. Your essay must include, but is not limited to, the following information:

·         Introductory Paragraph + thesis statement

·         Concluding Paragraph

·         Descriptions/insights words of affirmations

·         Plans for the future
