Recently in OLPC, we have been working on the beginning stages of our career lessons projects. The career category that I am researching is social studies. Some of the social studies related jobs that I am including are historians, anthropologists, urban planners, and cartographers. The goal of this project is to inform the kids about different career choices, but to do so in a way that is fun, creative, and easy to understand. In order to get a better idea of how to be successful with these lessons, we asked the 6th graders at CSG to give some input on a few unfinished projects. One suggestion that the 6th graders had was to use smaller words in order to maximize interest and understanding, and this is much harder than I originally anticipated because I have to find different ways to get my point across while still giving the same amount of information. By doing this, I feel like I am developing an important skill to have because not everyone thinks the same way, so being able to explain things in a different way for different people is crucial, especially with teaching little kids. I have a feeling that these career lessons will turn out great considering we all want them to be enjoyable and informative!
