Target Practice: Turn and Talk: Why do we do circles? What is the target? What is goal?

Restate our classroom expectations: Respect the right to teach; respect the right to learn; be on time for your obligations: class and assignments; positively representing yourself and others--people will remember the way you act; we ALL have to make it work: ask for what you need (from us and your classmates), but be willing to contribute and compromise.

Circle: How much money do you think you would need to make a week to survive on your own? How much money do you currently spend weekly/monthly?  How much money do you currently make weekly/monthly?

Seating Chart: We will not have a new one next Tuesday.

CMCC Trip: Next Tuesday!

Reading: Finish one-pager first, then dive into reading.

Presentations: We will be calling students at random to come to the office or to the reading library.

Before: How much do you think a career in your field would make? What do you think might be some qualifications to be in that field? How "in demand" do you think it is?

During: Research the job you are signed up for CMCC. For each answer you must have a REAL website linked.

1. What is the range of salary for the career?
2. What are the requirements to do the job? (education, etc)
3. How many jobs are available in that field right now?
4. Where are those jobs? What part of the country (or world) will have most of those?
5. What are the benefits of this job?

Create a brief presentation to your table group about your career.

After: Generate a list of questions that you might ask someone during the tour.  If you supply the evidence of the answer to the question you asked and who answered it, you can have a free “quiz” grade for Speaking and Listening.
