Dream Job

The last quarter has been a whirlwind of work winding down to when summer releases students back to their countries of origin.

Nonfiction in 11th grade was wrapped around the idea of what dream job/future profession each student aspired toward. First they took a survey on How Creative Are You and discovered what skills and personality traits are needed for different jobs. Worksheets that went with the unit helped them expand their language skills to use descriptive words like innovative as well as idioms like tried and true. Their work and research culminated in writing their personal statements for college and then projecting 5 years in the future to write a resume for a position at their dream job.

For the summer, students are encouraged to continue reading English Literature, continue developing vocabulary journals, and continue relationships with American friends by correspondence and responsible social networking. All in all it has been a productive and good year in ESL. I will miss the students but look forward to hearing of their summer adventures when they return.
