Options to Incorporate in Curriculum…
Processing and Sharing1. We feel it important for students to not only research options, but continue to process and
share results (aligning with Speech and Writing components of curriculum). Implementation
ideas are:
a. Students can write a brief (7-10 minute) speech on their results or
b. Students can write a research-based paper or personal narrative on findings or
c. Design and share Powerpoints or
d. Divide into groups based on Career Clusters and present in group format
****PLAN results will be tied to junior year scheduling in all buildings.
