Career Exploration and Interest Development Lesson Plan

This document is a lesson plan designed for 6th-grade students focusing on career exploration and the development of personal interests. The lesson aims to help students identify their interests and understand how these can influence their career choices. It includes a series of activities that guide students to filter careers based on their favorite school subjects, save relevant career profiles, and reflect on their interests within the Xello platform. The lesson is structured into four main activities, each with specific time allocations and objectives. Students will engage in discussions about their interests, explore various career options, and document at least five interests in their Xello profiles. Additionally, they will collaborate to identify community opportunities that align with their interests, fostering a deeper understanding of how personal preferences can shape future career paths. The lesson emphasizes self-knowledge and encourages students to think critically about their interests and career aspirations.
