Context
Students were asked to imagine themselves in 5 years, 10 years, and 15 years, and to think about a career they might want to pursue. They were asked to identify different jobs within their chosen career path. After selecting the job that excited them the most, students researched the education and training required, the skills and competencies needed to be successful in the field, and what a day in the life in their chosen job might look like. Students were asked to make booklets to summarize what they learned and to create a comic strip to represent the “day in the life” part of the task.
