Career Research
Students were expected to come to class
today with the selected career they wish to
investigate after completing the Colorado
Career Cluster Survey.
This unit is extremely beneficial for students
because it helps them engage in career
investigation as well as creating a career
portfolio for when they will enter the
workforce.
Methods: Cooperative Learning & Individual
Practice
Understandings:
Credible and reliable sources
Duties and responsibilities; qualifications; job outlook; and salary; career research
evidence
Inquiry Questions:
What makes a source credible, reliable, and valid?

Evidence Outcomes:
After the red light- yellow light activity, I can gather accurate and relevant
information and conclusions from online sources on my selected career choice.
This means: I can distinguish what makes a source reliable, credible, and valid
List of Assessments:
Red Light Yellow Light Activity (Formative)

Anticipatory Set
Career Research
Students will first learn about credible and reliable sources before they
begin their research. The rest of class they will be conducting research
on their selected career, using credible and reliable sources.
90 minutes
I will need:
Bad source vs. good source activity handout for each student
Directions for Red Light Yellow Light
Students will need:
Pens/Pencils (Specifically one red pen and one yellow pen and/or
highlighter)
Individual Laptops
Student Warm Ups are posted on the Projector
The warm up today posted is a cartoon of a student and teacher
The teacher gave the student back his research paper with an F
The student then says, What do you mean my facts are wrong?!? I
copied everything straight off the internet!
Students have to reflect on this cartoon and analyze why they think this
student is confused about his grade on his research paper. This will lead
into the topic of distinguishing between credible and non-credible online
sources.
2-3 Students will be cold called to share their answer aloud.
1o minutes to complete
The strategy I intend to use is a daily warm-up/ Question or thought of
the day and Cold Call
I am using this strategy here because it engages students into the
classroom right away and gives them a brief idea of what the lesson will
be covering in class today. Using a cold call technique will hold every
student accountable; as they will all have something for their warm up

Differentiation:
practice since they have their own career selected and need to find
information about that specific career.
Ball Toss
10 minutes
Students will put away their laptops when there is 10 minutes left of
class and all stand in a circle. We will then toss a ball to each other in
the circle, when you catch the ball you will share aloud the career you
are researching and one thing you learned about the career and one
thing you learned about what makes a source credible or not.
Depending on the class size it is expected that everyone has a chance
to share aloud.
The strategy I intend to use is Share Aloud Ball Toss
I am using this strategy here because it will allow the students some
movement towards the end of class and wrap up their final thoughts on
credible sources. It also allows students to share aloud with each other
the careers they have chosen as well as information they have found
about the career.
It is a chance for students who have a similar career to collaborate with
each other if they want, but it also allows me, as the teacher, to ensure
that everyone is staying up to task with the assignment and being
accountable and responsible.
For my students who struggle with reading, I will print extra copies of
the PowerPoint so that they can read along during the lecture and keep
it with them while they are conducting their research.
If I notice that students are struggling I will try to have them sit next to
someone else in the class who has the same career as them, who are
not struggling, so that they can share findings and ideas about the
selected career.
And as always, students are able to come into my class anytime during
lunches or free periods for more work time.
The Red Light Yellow Light activity will be how I gage student learning.
I will see where they marked red and/or yellow on their article, as well
as on the back their reasoning and explanations for why the article
