Class: Accelerated Senior Rhetoric

Teacher: Jaclyn Marta

Objectives:
(Short) Students will gain an understanding of what is expected on a resume and how to improve resumes with
issues.
(Long) Students will produce a quality resume to improve their technical writing and to use for possible future
employment.
Standards:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.11-12.1 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage
when writing or speaking.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.2 Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media
(e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the credibility
and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the data.

Procedure:
- Open up PowerPoint, Introduce topic to students, and hand out wksts to students ( 2min)
- Run PowerPoint on resume information, checking for understanding throughout ( 30 min)
- I will encourage students as it begins to take notes as this is an assignment they will be doing in the next
two days for a grade
- Students will look at bad resume and good resume (18 min)
- they will be questioned on what it is that makes good resume good- flow, info, etc
- students will work as a whole class to fix bad resume as teacher fixes it on smart board
Materials:
Desks ( 5 & 8), smart board, computer, worksheets ( 5 & 8), pen/pencil

vocally stating information that will go into the resume that they will begin to work on the next class period.
Students will also be free to ask questions throughout the PowerPoint, to ensure they are understanding all the
information being presented. Once the PowerPoint is over, students will be given a resume with many errors and
they will work as a class to make this resume be one acceptable to be given in a job application. I will ask them why
this change needs to happen to ensure they can explain their own actions.
Accommodations:
One issue that might ensue is that one class period will be shorter than one another. The second hour might not be
able to get through all of the lesson plan. If that happens, I will begin the next class period finishing up what hasn't
been done. That class is usually attentive and on task, so this should not prove to be
