One of five McDonald's Action Packs, these instructional materials for ninth and tenth graders (and more able sixth and seventh graders) have incorporated ideas around three career development goals--subject relevance, career awareness, and self-awareness. The action pack contains six units--three units each in the subject areas of language arts and social studies--in an interdisciplinary approach. Following an introduction that gives suggestions for use of community resources, these six units are presented: journalism, radio, telephone, community geography, municipal government, and local laws. The format for each unit is as follows: (1) introduction, which highlights career development goals and their importance; (2) exploration activity, which emphasizes the career awareness goal through a community-learning approach and includes student objectives and directions; (3) application activity, which emphasizes subject relevance by student application of selected skills, knowledge, and/or attitudes and includes student objectives, directions, and ideas for extensions; and (4) extensions or ways to enrich the material. Student activity sheets suitable for reproduction are provided for each unit. (YLB)
