Careers

This Term room 23 is doing a research on their careers about what they want to be when they are older for their seminar in week 8. Everybody came up with lots of good ideas on what they want to be when they grow up. In our seminar we need to have three questions and relevant information to support their question. We can present our seminar on a slide show or using a science board or any equipment we want to use. For some of our careers we are shadowing and emailing people for more information, what skills we need, what subject do we need to take to get that career. My career is a Hospital Receptionist and i have been doing a lot of research on what skills i need, what subject i need to take when im in college and more. We are all excited about our seminars.
