Career Path Final Project

Career Path Assignment

Hints:
1. Pick a location to collect your information.  Use Word, Google Docs, your blog or any form of data collection.  
2. Make your collection accessible from home. 
3. Get the data collection done quickly.  It will take you more time to put together a good, creative presentation than to collect your information.

Period 7 Assignment for May 3rd

These are links to your graphs.  Look through all of the graphs.  Compile a list of at least 10 conclusions you can draw from these graphs.  Five of the conclusions need to be about you personally.

HINTS:
Conclusions are not spitting back information represented in the graph.  I want you to draw your own conclusions. 

Example of a conclusion personal to you......I do not plan on going to college when I graduate.  However, I plan on completing a certification in supervision.  In Kokomo the outlook for job growth is -4%.  If I am going to live in Kokomo, I need to think about another career choice.  If I still get the certification I had planned on, I need to find a city that has a positive outlook for job growth.

Bolded sentences in the example above would count as 2 personal conclusions.

Friday with sub:

I expect your best behavior with the sub. Please show him how great you all are! See you all on Monday. Have a good weekend. Mrs. O'Neal

Scroll down to read assignment. You are not able to create a Google doc without verifying your account. I created your document and presentation for you. All you have to do is click on the link. You will not even have to post when you are finished. The docs are time stamped. If your family gets both of these done by the end of your period 30 Bonus points! Notice I raised the bonus opportunity!

If a group member is absent, get the word to them. If they have their section done before 7:00 a.m. Monday I will still give the bonus points. You have enough resources to communicate to your entire family (present or not) to get this done. If you have questions post them as a comment to the blog post.

I will not give ANY bonus points if everyone in your group does not sign out their laptop! Notice the sign out sheet is linked in the left column of this page.
