04.14 - Occupation Skills

At the beginning of class today, I handed out set 15 roots and prefix practice sheets. Everyone then had about ten minutes to work on the first sheet (the word list) in class. We will have the quiz for this set of roots and prefixes on Friday.

Next, we returned to working with our occupations through a couple thought experiments. In class, I explained that these thought experiments are not meant to be realistic. Instead, the ideas is to think creatively about your occupation and really explore the different ways in which we can think about how that occupation shapes a person and their abilities. Everyone worked with an assigned partner in class and wrote down their responses to these questions.

For the final question (see below) everyone jotted down their own notes:

In debriefing this activity, we discussed how the second section of the occupations research paper is one that should focus on the these skills and tools. These are the points which people should be researching and discussing to develop a better understanding of the contributions made by their occupation to the world. This is the aspect in people's papers that have been lacking in assessments of this section so far.
