TEACHERS’ NOTES – Dream, Dream, Dream
Preparation – How to provide occupational information
This lesson can be used as an introduction to the careers library. Lesson plan in grade 9. Otherwise the
students can be taken into the computer lab and told where they might find some careers information on the
web.
However, this lesson could be used as a lighthearted and “fun” introduction, perhaps with the help of the
guidance counselors to locate items in the library related to the students’ dreams/ambitions.
Alternatively, students could make a start on the first task at the end of the previous lesson by providing
their dream/ ambition to you. Arrangements could then be made to either locate appropriate occupational
information (computer printouts/photocopies) or to provide lunchtime support for students to find the
information in the library to bring to this lesson.
Ask the students who their heroes are. Which people would they most like to follow in the footsteps of?
E.g. top model, a famous film star, part of a famous pop group, sport person etc.
Stress that most people have dreams and ambitions. Aspirations can be good if they help us to make an
effort to use our potential, to succeed. To dot his we need to analyse how we can achieve our dreams and
plan how to do it.
Without knocking any students’ dreams carefully explain that sometimes we need to decide whether we
really have our ‘head in the clouds’ and it is a case of ‘missions impossible’.
Examples of former students who have gone on to achieve success in different ways, and of your own
youthful ambitions may help to reinforce the message.
Learning Outcomes: By completing this task you will be able to:
A
What about me – what
dream or ambition do I B
have?
What personal
qualities will I need?
D
E
Will I need any
particular skills?
