Lesson 4: High School Options
Mapping Your Trip

Activity 1 – High School Choices

Many opportunities outside of your high school could also help you achieve your career goals. In this part of the lesson, you will become familiar with some of these options.

Choose one group of high school options and explore one of the following options by answering the questions found on the corresponding assignment sheets. You'll need a computer to do some of this work. Keep in mind that your group will be doing a short presentation to the class to share what you've learned. Your presentation should include a visual aid which highlights the most important points you've discovered. Be sure to include what the program is, the requirements for participation and the advantages/disadvantages of the program. You'll also need your journal for a response to the presentations.
