The goal of this activity is to help students develop the necessary skills to create positive changes in their own lives. Particularly, in this activity, students will choose a behavior that will produce a desired change, then learn to develop the behavior into a habit. The activity includes a 21 day calendar with tips for success to support a good habit formation.
Make It Happen! is an activity developed to help students take advantage of extra time over school breaks. In this activity, students will set realistic academic and personal goals to work toward over break. Students complete a daily calendar to help them create a strategy for achieving their goals.
Students work together to identify problems in different areas of their lives including school, personal, and family issues. Once identified, students learn how to clarify their problems so that they are manageable. The lesson is reinforced with an activity that requires students to identify and clarify a problem in different scenarios.
Students practice problem solving in difficult personal and hypothetical situations. One student presents a problem. The group then identifies all parties involved in the problem and proposes solutions. The presenter chooses a few solutions that they are most comfortable with and the group discusses pros and cons and which party (or parties) benefits from the solution.

This activity allows students to assess and prepare for potentially dangerous issues or situations. Students are asked to collectively come up with issues or situations of concern. They then search through a phone book or the internet to find potential resources to call to assist if that situation ever occurs.
