Overview
This week we will be exploring the different kinds of businesses that exist and we will begin to gather some ideas about which ones interest each of us as possible careers.
Wednesday, September 3rd
Classwork
We'll begin class with a conversation about the importance of getting assignments completed on time, and discuss why in a class with no homework, students present in class will be expected to complete projects during the class time given for them, and students with excused absences from class will be expected to make up missing project work within two class periods. Most of you emailed me, but a few of you didn't. Everyone who did earned an A grade for their first assignment. Those who didn't got an E grade.
After that discussion we will share presentations assigned last week on:
- Manufacturer: Avion, Jeidy and Zander
- Wholesaler: Aura, Molly, Jhon and Adam
- Retailer: Yamilet, Hik and Madi
- Service: Mostapha, Noah and Alexander
We will be doing a lot of in class presentations this year, so after the presentations we will discuss how we want to do them, including which software we want to use. I'm going to argue strongly for Google Slides, but I want to know what the rest of you think before we decide.
Whatever tool we use should enable presentations to be published to the web in some way and provide a URL to access them.
Once we choose a tool, each of you will use it to create their own personal
presentation entiled Three Careers I Want to Explore
. I'll talk more
about what I want to see in the presentation in class.
