JOB APPLICATIONS
Every student in the class will have a job in the classroom. The job application contains the following questions:
1. Why do you want this job?
2. What qualifications do you have that will help you with this job?
3. What similar jobs have you done in the past?
Students will complete job applications, and jobs will be assigned based on the neatness and quality of the application. The students will hold each job for two weeks, then will apply for new jobs. No one will have a job twice until they have held each job once.
