Next, we looked at the various occupations that people have decided to research. Ideally, this is an occupation that each person would like to pursue in life. That way, this research is an opportunity to help them find some direction to their high school and post-secondary work.
The first part of our research will be into the history of each person's chosen occupation and what exactly that occupation involves and looks like today. To get a sense for how to find out about and interpret the history of an occupation, we are going to be looking at the history of the barber in the United States (at least since European times).
We are going to be reading an article from The Atlantic for this. Today, we took a look at two of the pre-reading questions to get us ready to read this article. Everyone responded to and then we discussed these questions in class (see below). We will begin reading this article and responding to the reading questions and post-reading question next time.
