Everyone then had the period to begin their research for the second section of their paper (details listed below).
Initial drafts of the first section of the occupations paper on the history of the occupation and what work it involves were due today and should be submitted via Google Drive (they can be shared with: caleb.collins.lhs@gmail.com).
The work focus for today was on finding sources for the current information section of the paper and starting to create notecards from those sources. Our plan for work this week is as follows:
Monday - Find 2 new sources, begin creating notecards
Tuesday - create notecards for this section of the paper
Wednesday - complete notecards and begin organizing outline (with thesis and main ideas)
Thursday - finish outline and begin writing initial draft of the paper.
We talked about using Google News in class as a potential source for finding current information about people's professions.
Requirements for the paper on current information related to the occupation are as follows:
Current Information (700 words)
A one sentence answer to any of the questions below would serve as a main idea of your paragraph.
What sort of education, certification, or licensing does this occupation require?
What does someone doing this occupation make?
What tools do people use in this occupation today?
How has the occupation changed and become different from its early history?
How has technology changed the way this occupation is done?
What skills does this occupation require now?
For this section of the paper you will need:
2 new sources (you can also use information from sources from the first section)
10 notecards
2 summary notecards
2 paraphrase notecards
2 quotation notecards
4 free choice (summary, paraphrase, or quotation) notecards
While people were working on this next section of the paper, I came around and met individually with people to address any questions about grades, assignments, and/or research.
