Block Day 3/12


Good Morning!  Happy Block Day!!

Today we are going to work towards finishing our final powerpoint of the 3rd quarter.  Don't worry, we're not going to finish it, finish it today but we're going to get mighty close!  That means we will have a short blog post, a quick lesson of edutyping and will dedicate the remainder of the class period to working on your presentation.

For today's blog post, check out the slideshow highlighting the 7 Occupations With the Highest Hiring Demand - http://money.usnews.com/money/careers/slideshows/7-occupations-with-the-highest-hiring-demand - and respond to the following questions:


  • Which of the 7 careers listed on the presentation are most interesting to you? Explain why.
  • What career did you choose to focus on for your presentation and why?
  • If the career you are interested in pursuing is listed in the slideshow, how does that make you feel?  Does the expected job growth motivate you to pursue the career even more?  What do you think about the salary?
  • If the career you are interested in pursuing is not listed in the slideshow, how does that make
    you feel? Does this concern you about the career you are interested in? Why or what not?
    List 2 other details that you found interesting about this slideshow and/or the information it contained!
After you have completed the blog please quickly complete Unit 2, Lesson 4.1 in Edutyping and then login to Schoology and keep moving forward on your presentation. A reminder that we have completed:
  • Your Title Slide, Career Interest Profiler Slide, My Matching Occupations Slide, the Exploring One Career Slide, and are currently in the process of completing the "Linking Your Career to School Slide."
  • Today's task is going to require you to look back at the college you chose in your college powerpoint and determine if they offer the major you are interested in for your career ... if it does not, you might have to reconsider the school you are interested in attending ... use Naviance to locate this information and complete the "Exploring Majors and Colleges" slide.
  • You are also expected to complete the "Wrap Up" slide today as well.
This will give you a complete PowerPoint. We can touch it up tomorrow and submit it!! Woohoo!
