2) Literacy Block: Colleges? Careers? Which choice? When? (30 min)

1. Before you read:

1. Set up a note sheet for today. EQ: Where am I going?; Topic: College and Career Choices; Date: 3 Nov 2016
2. Create a T-chart titled "What I am wired to do" and "What I am not wired to do".
3. List at least 5 things in each category. Make these specific and as relevant to future goals as possible. For example, "cooking" would be more helpful to list than "eating pizza".
4. Stuck? Ask yourself the following: What hobbies do you have that you could earn money from? What are your skills? What do you feel "called" to do? What makes you feel like you used a day well?
2. While you partner read, list the order in which many teens and young adults make college and career decisions. Draw arrows and add labels showing how the author recommends you change this normal order.
3. After your read:
1. Discuss, as a table, why choosing a career first is a good idea.
2. Skim through one of the course catalogs below. Note two unique classes that sound interesting to you and a career that you can think of that relates to each one.

2. UNC Charlotte (Click on the name of the course for a description.)
3. CCCC's course catalog (Select "Download full catalog" and scroll through.)
3. Share out as a class: What have you done so far to choose a career? What else can you do?
