online job searcher profiles. Websites like CareerBuilder.com and Moster.com are
great places to start
.
Both websites give job searchers the option to create an online profile. The process
emulates that of an online job application because students will be asked to fill out
basic information about themselves, upload a resume and even submit a profile
photo. There is also a section for students to briefly introduce themselves to the
hiring world.4. The Reporter: Fact or Fiction
This exercise provides the perfect opportunity to challenge students’ critical
thinking skills. Students also gain valuable learning experience in data
interpretation so they could effectively evaluate the validity of a report and
consider it beyond face value.
To start, have students go on
The New York Times
website to
find an article of their interest. (You can only access a limited number of NYT
articles per month for free, but as this is a valuable resource for students to be able
to use from your classroom, a subscription can be a great investment.)
Students then remake the news by adding a few personal opinions or imaginary
events/people of their own. This is also the perfect opportunity for you to discuss
the importance of paraphrasing as well as the devastating academic and social
consequences of plagiarism.
Ask the students to bring the finished product to class and work in groups to
distinguish fact from fiction. For maximum effect, try to have groups of 4-5
students. Students will then print out copies of their rewritten work and give a copy
to each group member.
Readers are responsible for circling information they think is fictional. The writer
should also keep an original copy for him or herself to provide answers at the end
of each round.
