Pathways+Week+14

Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend.

To all my classes I will be out from Wednesday - Friday this week and will be back on Monday May 2. Please as always give your substitute teacher the utmost respect. You will be responsible for the assignments that I have left and they will be forwarded to me for grading over next weekend.

For those that have **not** finished their resumes & reference they are both due no later than Friday. Your resume must be uploaded to your Experience page. You must first upload it to Slideshare and then embed the code in your page as a widget.

You must also create a Wordle to put on your knowledge page, this is a list of words that best describe you and what you have learned about yourself through your assessments in Bridges, the career that you would like to pursue and the things you like to do and are passionate about. This is a culmination of what you have learned. Also you will need a brief paragraph 4-5 sentences about why you choose the words that you did. There must be a minimum of 8 words there is no maximum. Below are step by step instructions on how to create, resize and upload your Wordle into your E-Portfolio. [|Wordle Instructions]

After your Wordle is completed for those that have completed their Job Shadow please start adding to your Job Shadow page. You can use Patty Way's Job Shadow as a guide below is the link: http://patty-ways.wikispaces.com/Job+Shadow+Pictures

If you have not completed a job shadow start thinking about what you would like to possible do for your Senior Project and add the ideas on your Graduation Project page. It just needs to be a list and as much information as you would like to put on the page. You will be referring to that in your senior year. One of the biggest complaints that we receive from seniors is that they wish they were given the opportunity to explore possibilities for their graduation project during junior year. I am giving you the opportunity.

What must be completed before May 1 that you can do at any time is the Recommendations Information Survey in [|Naviance]. It should be on the left hand side when you log in.
