Tuesday, Jan. 10 Agenda

•Bell Ringer: Go to Schoology and post at least two separate comments on the Post it discussion board from what you marked yesterday when reading

•Discussion: Need to discuss for at least 20 min.  Once all have shared postits, read through all posts and responded to two not in your group, discuss and write your answers on Schoology for these questions:

•According to O'Brien, how do you tell a true war story? What does he mean when he says that true war stories are never about war? What does he mean when he writes of one story, "That's a true story that never happened"?

•What are some challenges soldiers might face in communicating their experiences in war to civilians, using examples from the text. Why is it so hard to tell a true war story? How, according to O'Brien, can we tell if a war story is true?

•Reminder of requirements

•Basic info of career

•Preparation, what the job consists of, etc.

•Benefits and drawbacks

•Reading and Writing needs

•Speaking and Listening needs

•Day in the life

•Skills, tasks, etc.

•You need to contact at least one person in one of your careers.  If you contact more, that means you have to do less research (day in the life and reading/writing/speaking/listening information)

•You need to give me your interview questions ASAP (you should have at least 10, and they should be based of the information you need for the project that you haven’t found in your online research)

•Artifacts (if you are only researching one or two careers)

•Career work time/independent reading time/book completion sheet time
