Dear Class:

• Know the acronym PACE, the purpose of this class,  and how it will benefit them. 
• Know how to navigate the class website to complete class work.
• Understand the value of self-assessments

1.   Do FreeWrite assignment # 8 "Freewrite #8 ~ Vocabulary" slide. Do the questions on the slide in your freewrites document.

2.  Log into CIS again.  Today we will explore what type of work you prefer based on your skills.  To do this, we will be looking at "Skills" which is under the "Occupations" tab.  Please screen shot the result, copy and paste into a new doc entitled "Skills".  We will explore this as we define the occupation you wish to achieve and what the resulting pay will be.  The occupation will be defined by all of the surveys you took!

3. You need to know the vocabulary.  Budget Vocabulary Flashcard Practice
There will be a test on this next week....

4. Do the Meyer's Briggs survey. Copy and paste your results into a Google document: Create a doc and label it: FullName_MeyersBriggs.  We will be further exploring this in more detail with the careers that are listed in the link to the right.


5.  Copy the jobs from the "Character" survey into the "My_Jobs" document.  That will now create a document that will encompass Interest Profiler/Importance Locator/Skills/Meyers Briggs/Character. We will be choosing an "Occupation" from that group of job lists.  Label each as you copy and paste them in.  Go to  CIS and look at the descriptions of the occupations you might be interested in and any jobs you don't know what they do.  I want to see you working on it!!!!

This is exploratory on your side.  I want to see you looking at jobs.  Things happen...your life changes.  I want to see one specific occupation and three backups!  For the specific job, I want you to write at minimum of a paragraph as to why you chose that occupation.  Look at the quick view of that occupation in CIS to see the pay, outlook, numbers, etc.

Look at "Order by Cluster" if you need to back up and look at more general terms for grouping.
