03.20 - Occupations Research - Section 2

 For class today, everyone had the period to work on their occupation research project. The goal for today was to come up with a thesis statement and main ideas on the outline, sort notecards in to appropriate sections of the outline, and get a start on the writing of the paper.

During class I went around and answered individuals' questions and met with people one-on-one to check in on how their research was going. Everyone should be writing the second section of their paper (the professional review of their person's work) this weekend.

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.
