In Writing, students have just finished up their city projects. I was very impressed by the creativity that so many students showed. One of the reasons why I enjoy the city project so much is because it gives students the opportunity to take charge of their own learning, set their own goals and hold themselves accountable to those goals. We will take a break from the longer writing assignments to enjoy several smaller writing opportunities from now through Spring Break.
When we return from break, students will begin a research paper over a future career opportunity. If you have the chance, please take the time to talk to your student about what it is exactly that you do at your job, what training or schooling did you need to attain to get your position, and what type of salary or benefits one could expect from a job in your field. All of this information will help your student have a better real-world perspective as they begin researching their dream job.
