Objective
Students will be able to explain the purpose of a resume and create a first draft of their resume for their Sophomore Portfolio.

Outcome
Students will demonstrate competency by completing a resume builder worksheet and drafting a resume using a template of their choice. This lesson will be followed by
peer editing, revision, and verbal 1:1 teacher feedback.

Prior Knowledge
Students will need to be able to brainstorm their past work/extracurriculars and identify personal skills with examples.

Anticipated Areas of Misunderstanding

I will need to be sure to be clear about what a resume is in general and what this specific resume is for. Things like the summary, contact info, and references will be a bit
different here than they would be if applying for a job using this resume.

Procedures

Starter: (5min)
Students pick up KWL Chart on their way to seats
Have resume sample projected onto smart board as students enter. Does anyone know what this is?
A resume is a one-page summary of skills, education, experience
A well-written resume and the right skills can give you an edge on landing a job.
This week you will build your first HS resume to apply to your focus area for next year.
Engage: (10min)
Have students fill out the first two columns of KWL Chart. The last column will be completed during lesson closure. Use discussion to segue into objectives, terms,
and definitions
Explore: (15min)
Project Resume Ramen slides and discuss each slide up until Day 2 in detail.
On Day 2, review remaining slides
Practice or Application: (15mins)
After intro slides, direct students to the Resume Builder Worksheet and model first 2 Steps, gradually releasing students to work on their own and ask questions as
needed.
On Day 2, students will write a summary statement, create their resumes using a template of their choice, and transfer information from the worksheet into their
template.
 Extend:
Students who complete the resume builder worksheet early may begin exploring the template offerings from the teacher, google, and microsoft. Those who choose
to use a non-teacher template will have the added challenge of making the required information fit into their template while maintaining formatting.
Closure: (5min)
Why is it a good idea to start building a resume now? Why is it important to personalize your resume? Students will return to their KWL chart and fill out the final
column. This will serve as their exit ticket.
