Language Goal: Interpret and evaluate a wide range of information; use media technology for informational purposes.

Content Goal: 1.03 Interact in group activities/seminars in which the student shares personal reactions to questions raised.

Essential Questions: What are your interests? Which career fields are in line with these interests? How will you use this information.

Today's class was spent in the computer lab with our eighth grade counselor, Ms. Hall. Students completed The Harrington-O'Shea career interest survey. Once the information was collected and tabulated, students determined the careers that are likely fits for their individual likes and aptitudes. Most students were encouraged by their results (the results matched their ideal career path). Overall, it was a valuable and interesting exercise in introspection.

Homework: Self-selected reading.
