Think carefully about your skill challenge and break it down into he following four stages. For each one explain what you were able to do at that point Use the juggling example to help you.
Choosing My Challenge – e.g. – I have tried to juggle in the past but have never been able to. My dad can juggle three balls so he said he would help me to learn.
Starting My Challenge – e.g. I set my self the goal of juggling three balls by the end of the 10 weeks. I decided I would practice at least 4 times a week for 10 minuets.
3 Weeks into my challenge - e.g. – I very quickly learnt to juggle 2 balls and once I had been shown the technique I made quick progress with three. I can now do it 12 times before I drop a ball, I want to get even better
8 Weeks into the Challenge – e.g. – I found that started to miss practices and that keeping up the practice was getting hard. I spoke to my dad and he said that maybe I should try to do it with different objects to keep my interest so this helped me to continue my practice. I can now juggle for about 30 – 40 throws regularly.
10 weeks into the challenge – I have shown my new juggling skills to my friends and family and this has helped me to feel really proud of my new skill, I want to keep up practice so that I can continue to do it.
