I am required to approve your work before it's submitted to the Career Center. Their deadline is Oct. 15th, but their message is "the sooner the better." But I won't "approve" if it is not worthy of a high-school senior representing Issaquah High School to the community. Be warned.
1. Unless you are going straight into the job market full-time after graduation, your resume should be academically-oriented as complete as possible re: education data, school and extra-curricular activities (with substantial lists appropriately sub-divided, and leadership roles clearly set forth), volunteer experience, work experience, and outside interests). Format in a eye-pleasing and professional manner, and PROOFREAD carefully.
2. Your typed-out response to Question #1 should be 250-350 words, and must address all parts of the question:
- Summarize your preparation for your education and career goals. what further steps must you take to achieve your goals? Describe yow your plans relate to your skills, strengths, interests, and values. Include a realistic financial plan for achieving your goals.
All students received the copy of the Senior Personal Essay assignments. You should have two dates written in:
PROSPECTUS--due on Thursday, Sept. 30. (Typed; must be printed BEFORE you arrive in class--it will be collected at the bell.)
FIRST DRAFT--due on Thursday, Oct. 7. Typed, double-spaced.
For 2nd period, we did the full gig on the assignment presentation, including going over common pitfalls as well as the topic choices. This had been done on Monday in 4th period. In 4th, I simply clarified the new "Pooling" process for the University of Washington, and returned the Self-Definition papers.
So most of 4th period was devoted to "Araby," though we have to pick up a couple of things tomorrow.
Fourth period also handed in the annotated copies of "A & P." Second period, yours will be collected first thing on Wednesday!
FOR TOMORROW-- Both Classes
Think about your essay topic, and work on the prospectus. There will be new reading for Thursday, and I don't want to double up too much. But I also don't want to add the next story until we have finished this pair (Araby/A & P).
Although we won't be totally back on track for tomorrow (both classes doing exactly the same thing), we should come close: we will totally wrap up Joyce, and get to variable points with Updike.
