Resume' Homework

Hello Planners,

Please have typed up your first effort at your resume' according to the template/s provided on the link provided here: Resume'.

Points to remember:

• Provide your Job Objective below your contact info. but before your skills/experience
• Your Job Objective must be a job you could and would do TODAY. You are not trained to be an architect but you could work with architects as a receptionist for example.
• The headings on your resume' ought to reflect the types of skills (groupings) and experiences you possess. Don't feel you  need to copy the headings from the examples provided. 
• The headings ought to be suited to the needs of your Job objective
• Avoid sentences; rather list attributes/skills and use active verbs. For example:

Instead of : I have a positive attitude and I am willing to work hard to make the most of opportunities.”

On your resume’ write instead:

-   Postive, hardworking, quick learner, team player

Instead of: I am self assured and relate well to people. I enjoy speaking in public.

-    Self assured, sociable, skilled public speaker

Instead of : I was the manager of my basketball team.

- Managed a team of 16 players Jr. basket ball league.

• You want the active verbs at the front of the line. These are your transferable skills
• You want the most relevant information to be closest to the top.

TYPE AND PRINT YOUR FIRST DRAFT OF YOUR RESUME' TO BRING TO CLASS NEXT DAY! THERE WILL BE A HOMEWORK CHECK.

THANKS,
MS. S

Skills Inventory

• Copy down the 7 types of skills and list those skills you have. Add any that they don't provide but that you have. Do not add skills you do not yet possess.

• Your chart should include around 5 skills per skill type (unless you are particularly skilled or unskilled in a particular area) .
• The idea is that you are starting to give yourself credit for the talents and skills you already possess and to figure out where you have room to grow.
• This activity is designed to get you ready for more inquiry into work and education as well as resume' writing.

See me if you have any questions.
Due:Oct.16/17

Skills, Interests, Aptitudes

We have been exploring (meta cognitively) the nature of our values and we have looked at our multiple intelligences.

Today we have put our intelligence and our values to the test as we have grappled with difficult questions (both practically and in reference to values)


We finished up by distinguishing among our Skills, Interests, and Aptitudes as well as noting the relationships among them.

For next dayOct. 14/15:

• Make a list of your key interests
• Make a list of your key aptitudes
• Make a list of your key skills
• Help me to understand what the relationship is among these 3 areas and how you feel about them.
• The assignment should consist of no fewer than 3 ideas per key area and a short paragraph explaining it all.

Day One! I am here tomorrow to answer questions you may have before the weekend.
Thanks everyone.
Ms.S

Hello Planners,

Today (day 1) we worked on identifying our values. Day 2 will do so on Monday. Thefollowing homework is ,

Do as follows please:

Identifying what our values are can help us live more authentically and with a greater sense of clarity and purpose.

Welcome to Planning 10!

Welcome to Planning 10!

This blog is where you will find:

• Important dates ex. assignment deadlines, quiz, test, presentation dates
• links that relate to this course
• Some past hand outs for you to print off if you were absent when they were distributed in class
• Ms. S' musings and quotes/clips that I would like to share with you such as the one below:

Please hear in this quote gender inclusive language. Hear also "She and "Her", and "WE" throughout as we consider "master[y] in the art of living."

"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

DUE DATE UPDATE

Hello Planners:

I just wanted to update you on your timeline in light of job action.

Your 'Leaving home projects' are due for Day ones on the 11th but since school will not be in session that day I will collect you projects either on the 10th or the 12th.

Day 2s: your projects remain due on the 12th.

Also, in light of the possibility that we may not be able to  move forward with the year as planned, it may be necessary for me to modify the method by which I mark these projects. I just wanted to let you know that.

I am very sorry for the disruption everyone. Thank you for your continued efforts in you learning. I so enjoy working with you all.

Ms.S

The Final Stretch!

Hello Planning classes!

This is a message to give you a sense of what is coming up and some dates of which to take note.

We have 8 classes left, if you can believe that.  We will be looking at financial education and considering what the true costs of post secondary are, how to budget, what it costs to move out of home, how banking/pay work, and how to grow your money or lose your money through the 'power' of compounding interest, or how to make or lose a million.  Interested?

There will be the following assignments for marks and the dates they are due:

• the cost of post secondary education - Due May 26/27
• 10%save/spending notes                    - Due June 12/13
• vocabulary test                 in class       - Due June 11/12
• leaving home major project               - Due June 10/11

We will spend a fair bit of time working on the final project during class time. It is a team effort and is research based. There are many elements to it and one must remain focussed to get it properly completed in time. That said, it is terrific preparation for just a few years from now when you are building your life independently of your parents/significant adults.

Let's keep up the terrific work everyone; we are nearly there!

Ms.S

DEADLINE POSTPONED

Hello Planning 10:

I think your party groups could use one more class to develop your party plans. Therefore; I have moved the presentation day/s to Feb. 5/6.

Please ensure that you have a visual aspect to your presentation and that your budgets are based on real information.

Looking forward to hearing all about your plans!

Party Plan Format

You will win us over with fun ideas and detailed planning.

Party Plan Format

·      State your party theme/goal

·      Venue/date/duration

·      List your budget (how are you using the $200;how are you raising the rest? What does each aspect of the plan cost?) See example .

·      What must you do first? (When/where/how?)

·      What must you do next? (When/where/how?)

·      List each task in It’s time specific order

·      Be sure to do the research so that your estimates are realistic. (ex. Go online to see what a venue rental actually may cost)

·      Which party sounds like the most fun and the most likely to be successful? This is our criteria.

·      Consider the fact that larger long term plans like this will need to be made up of a bunch of smaller plans that happen in advance of the goal in a timely fashion.

·      Search party planning to get help on how to break it down.

·      Dream big! Then make it a reality with detailed planning.
