Description
In this curriculum, students focus on activities relating to career, family, and community. To prepare students for entering the job market, they are asked to create resumes using software, and a mock interview is held and recorded with a camcorder for further review. The importance of family is covered by having the students create a family tree using software, and they use time management software to organize the needs and demands of a family. Students also explore concepts relating to the community. From day cares to senior citizen centers, communities nationwide provide resources for the working family. By taking on the role of a day care facilitator, the students use technical writing skills to create an exercise for children. Students then select an organization that provides support within communities; they research it and design a campaign to promote it.
