    Upon completion of this lesson the students will be able to deduce the requirements of

    a job based on the job description as per a rubric.

    Upon completion of this lesson the students will be able to develop a thank you letter

    that is meant for professional correspondence with minimal errors.

    Upon completion of this lesson the students will be able to role play being an

    interviewer by asking at least 5 questions of a peer that is meant to be interviewing as

    an IT professional.

    Upon completion of this lesson the students will be able to role play being an

    interviewee by answering at least 5 questions of a peer that is meant to be an IT

    professional.

    Student will be able to differentiate between functional and technical Information

    Technology positions.

    Differentiation:

    In these lessons there are going to be a variety of ways to make the lessons more

    approachable by those with different learning needs. For the students that might need extra

    time with test, there are actually no graded summative assessments that have time constraints.

    These assessments even have opportunities to present rather then write in an essay format.

    Providing this method allows students to express their understanding in a way that works for

    them. One student does have an issue that can cause problems, due to vision. In the lessons

    there are ample opportunities to use computers for both the job descriptions and the resumes.

    These laptops could use different software to either convert the information to adaptive brail

    printers or using larger text. Final there is one student that is in the gifted and talented

    program. This student will get a chance to interact with two professionals that will have asignificant wealth of knowledge. The work that the students are doing is also mainly inquiry

    based that can provide and opportunity for gifted students to move beyond the course work.

    1. After everyone is in the classroom and seated it will be time to introduce the lesson and to

    a lesser extent. To get started the students are going to be asked: When you think of IT

    jobs, what do you think of. What would you consider to be a technical job? What is a

    functional job?(Passing time/First 5 minutes)

    Students will get to walk around the room and write a brief, one sentence, description of

    each job type without being told what any of the positions do. (20 Minutes)

    3. After the class has come back together and sits down they will be given the rest of the

    class to work on researching and writing a paragraph about each of the types of work. To

    Students will need to rank the positions based on the technical skills that are needed. (15minutes)

    Day 2:

    1. As the students come into the classroom the students will get a computer and open the

    work they started the previous day. To bring everyone back together and to reengage the

    class the question will be asked, what are you having the most difficulty with? We will

    discuss any obstacles that the group feels they are having. (5 minutes)

    LESSON PLAN SEQUENCE & PACING

    Day1

    1. As students come into the classroom they will be given two envelopes one that is either

    purple or gold, the second is either black or white., each will be closed. They will be told to

    not open either envelope. Once students have gotten seated there will be a directed

    discussion of certifications and the different professions inside IT. (Passing time/First 20

    minutes) Why do people get certified?

    What are the professions have we talked about?

    How do we communicate with people that are hiring what skills we have?

    How do people looking for employees let interested parties know who they would like

    to hire?

    2. After the discussion comes to a conclusion the students will be asked to open either their

    purple or gold envelope. Inside the purple envelope will be a resume. Inside the gold is a job

    description. Students will then be given five minutes to find the matching person without

    taking. This lack of talking would demonstrate the inability to just call when it comes to

    online job postings. (10 Minutes)

    3. Once the previous matches are made the students will be asked to open either their black

    or white envelope. Inside the purple envelope will be a resume. Inside the gold is a job

    description. Students will then be given five minutes to find the matching person without

    taking. This lack of talking would demonstrate the inability to just call when it comes to

    matches from the day before. We will then discuss:

    What difficulties did you have?

    Was there anything you thought was easier then you expected?

    18/25

    What could make this easier?

    What would you add to the resume to make it a better fit for the job description?

    Was there anything that was on the resume that made it tough to match up with a job

    description?

    What was on the job description?

    Was your job description a fit for one or many people? What would you have added to the job description to find a more people to see

    resumes from? (20 Minutes)
