Life Skills - Job Skills - Career Research - GOOGLE - Job Research

Many of my students struggle with the concept of potentially entering the workforce one day. They are not exposed to the wide range of jobs out there, and consequently are unable to realistically pick appropriate job options for themselves in the process. This DIGITAL download addresses all of these concerns in a fun and structured way. Students will be able to research careers of their choice in scaffolded activities that promote deeper understanding of job options, vocabulary in the work force, and research skills as well. 

This activity is specifically formatted to be used with Google Drive and is compatible with Google Classroom. Google Drive is an amazing resource that many educators are now using as an interface to support 1:1 digital instruction in the classroom. I pair it up with Google Classroom (a free website) that allows me to digitally send each student in my class a copy of the worksheets that they later submit to me for grading. With this lesson, students are able to type directly into the colored boxes on the digital worksheet. It is an amazing paper-free process and the kids LOVE working on these worksheets on the computer.

This is a great activity for any teacher looking to integrate more functional reading and writing skills into their daily classroom instruction. It also provides students with an introduction into possible career choices for themselves in the future as well.
