I was extremely thrilled when my clinical teacher told me she wanted me to do a lesson plan related to asking the students what they wanted to be when they grow up. I feel that it is never too early to start thinking about your future. My students are only in Kindergarten, I don’t expect them to know exactly what they want to be when they get older, but the idea is to introduce and expose them to different jobs and community providers.
Since my students are developing their own ideas about what they want to be when they grow, I thought this career/jobs lesson plan would be great for a VoiceThread. My students have never used VoiceThread before so it is definitely going to be an experience. My idea is to have a sample worksheet already posted with my voice saying "When I grow up, I want to be a teacher because I love working with kids. What would you like to be when you grow up and why? The students will respond accordingly.
