Dear Class:
First, do an "Article Review" based on this article. I want you to reflect on what you will do...go to college, go directly in the workforce. Does this article change your decision? Does the article make you think twice about your career? Could you see yourself at the community college level?
We will be doing a "Cluster Exploration" using this document, downloading it, filling it in using Adobe Acrobat Professional, and then uploading it with the title "Last Name_ClusterExploration". This will lead us to the resume workbook on page 7 "Choose a job objective". On CIS, we do have to look at the left column regarding the state CLEs for addition to the job objective!!!

Mr. Green-Hite
