Designed to infuse career education with language arts and science, these teacher-developed activities for grades 7-12 are based on one of seven teacher competencies identified by an Oregon task force (see CE 019 665 for the project description). The activities in this document are based on teacher competency number 6: instruct students in reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills as they relate to life roles and careers. The following four activities are included: (1) role playing; (2) demonstrating effective communication skills in completing five tasks; (3) observing communications of people at work; and (4) evaluating communications skills within the job interview. The format of each activity identifies the competency covered by the activity; related competencies; grade level; instructional goal; number of people needed; time requirements; materials and resources needed; and procedures to be followed.
