So, I actually think my lesson idea will fit into a bigger picture plan, which has often been a problem when it comes to career lessons. There never really seems to be a perfect time to discuss careers with students and it usually becomes a random lesson. This could have been the same scenario, however the timing may work to my advantage. Shortly after Spring Break, 10th graders will partake in the "career cafe" and they will have the opportunity meet with three different people from different career fields. In my lesson with the English classes, next week I will ask the students to develop a list of questions they want to ask folks at kiva. That should get them thinking about what they could ask the people they meet in the career cafe.
So, not only are they going to learn a little bit more about how to investigate careers and understand what people do. But hopefully they can use those thinking skills to make the most out of their career cafe meetings.
