So, what do you want to do when you grow up?
Part of Lesson Plan: Job Shadow
Activity Overview / Details
Ask each student to write down their desired occupation on the top of a paper. Next ask them to fully explain the requirements of the job, how much will they be paid, what are the normal working hours, what types of technology will be used, etc. This should come as a suprise to most students how little they know about what they want to do as an occupation.
