Career Reports
We continue writing our career essays in class for the next week.  Using the computer lab, you gathered information from the internet on your career choice and organized the information into 3 separate T charts.
Paragraph 2--Career choice requirements, salary and benefits, and other prerequisites for entering your field
Paragraph 3--College choice and major, requirements to earn your degree
Paragraph 4--CSU/UC requirements, extra-curricular, and volunteer opportunities to beef up your college application.
Each day, we will write a rough draft of each paragraph.  Make sure T Charts are ready to go on Monday.
Bring a flash drive to save your information each day. .
