Lesson 4: High School Options
Mapping Your Trip

Optional Activity 2 – High School Extras

Many students participate in extracurricular activities, hold a job, volunteer in the community or have parents/friends who are career role models. In this part of the lesson, select two areas in which you participate and decide how those activities might lead to a career choice. If you don't currently participate in any of these activities, choose two you would like to participate in or think you could learn something from.

1. Choose two of the areas listed below and complete the assignment. You'll need your journal to finish this part of the lesson. Here is a sample of the assignment.
   
   
   • Extracurricular activities (sports, music, theater, student government, clubs etc.)
     
     
   • Volunteer work
     
     
   • Job
     
     
   • Family/friend role model
     
     
2. Write in your Career Journal about the possible careers you could explore based on what you've learned. You may add another section if you're interested in exploring more than two areas. If you don't participate in an activity, don't have a job or don't volunteer yet, what plans can you make to add one of these activities to your career research? Go to the Career Journal Rubric to see how you'll be graded for this assignment.
