1. Did your resume skills match your 5 Very Important Skills from CIS and did the resume skills match the skills used by folks in your resume job/occupation? Make a comparison to verify:
   >  Create a table in your freewrite- 3 colums by 4 rows.
   >  In the first row, type the headings for each column- "3 of My Very Important Skills", "My Resume Skills", and "Skills Needed in my Chosen Profession". This also comes from your "Duck" assignment and some can come from the PIAR:Section 3.
   >  Make sure that you have an accurate match. Read through each of the descriptions to verify that each skill will relate or is similar to the one you have.
2. Look at what skills you don't have from the occupations Skills and Abilities section. State those missing skills below your table. 
   Answer this question: What can you do to acquire these skills in the future? 
3. Describe how you have changed from the first day of PACE A to now, considering the following:
   a) Did you know what you wanted to be when you started the class?
   b) Were you ready to pursue this job/career?
   c) Did you know the difference between a skill and a characteristic and an interest or hobby? If not, do you know now?
   d) Provide an example of each one that you currently possess.
4. From taking the personal inventory assessments and completing the worksheets, what have you learned or gained about your self- knowledge, abilities, self-direction/motivation, etc.?
   Be specific with some examples.
5. What do you know now that you can bring to the workplace that you did not know before.

FINISH THANK YOU LETTER DRAFT. We will write these in final form on a card and in BLUE OR BLACK PEN.
See link on Thankyou Letters.

Watch Drop Out Nation- We will watch this video over several class periods. 
Complete handout and be ready to share.

Dear Class:

Today, we will be doing the thank you letters.  These letters will be written in black or blue ink and will be put on the card stock so that when folded the "Front" of the card is right side up. 

You will have to have a "rough draft" approved before you can do this.  If the card is upside down, you will not receive a score since I only have enough card stocks for one each. 

We may get to watching the very first part of Frontline Dropout Nation

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
