Each module contains two headings: Assignments and Assessment. Under the Assignments heading you will find a numerical listing of the work that needs to be completed in each module by students, and in some cases parents/guardians. Under the Assessment heading you will find instructions to print out the Instructional Guide/Scavenger Hunt for each module. The //Instructional Guide/Scavenger Hunt// will correspond with the numerical listing of the Assignments. Please remember if you have any questions along the way to please email me at kjones1@btsd.us.

Before you begin your __#|career__ exploration and planning, let's take a humorous look at a clip from the 1952 episode __#|Job__ Switching from the I Love Lucy Show to see what happens when Lucy and Ethel enter the work world with few marketable skills and knowledge.

Arnaz, Desi, et. al. (1952). __ Job __ Switching. William Asher, (Director) I Love Lucy // United States, CBS. - // //Read a// [|Synopsis] //or watch all of the// [|episodes] //of the legendary// //I Love Lucy Show.// ||
 * //Fun Stuff to Explore//

Although this __#|video__ is from an earlier time, it does provide a humorous look at how Lucy and Ethel are faced with being fired from their __#|jobs__ if they cannot wrap the candy fast enough. They respond by eating, hiding, and wrapping the candy that they can catch. Have you considered how Lucy and Ethel ended up in this predicament? What could have provided them with better __#|opportunities__? Perhaps they could have benefited from completing their own __#|career__ exploration and planning.

Your high __#|school education__ offers you the opportunity to __#|enroll__ in elective __#|courses__ and explore your interest. But how do you know which ones are best for you? One option is to select __#|classes__ that your parents or friends have taken to see if you like that particular area is of interest. There is a better way and these five modules will, hopefully, help you determine areas of interest to explore and act as a springboard to your future. = = =Start Here=
