Planning 10
Planning 10 is a course that allows you to plan for your future, and your future career. It is divided into 4 areas: Graduation Transitions, Education and Careers, Health and Financial Planning.
Graduation ProgramIn this part of the course, you will learn what you need to graduate from high school (how many and what kinds of classes you need) and how the classes you take could affect your future.
|
Education and CareersIn this part of the course, you learn what jobs you might be good at based on your likes and dislikes, the kinds of jobs that are available and how to get a job (resume writing, cover letter writing, interview skills). You will also learn what rights you have as an employee (someone who works).
|
HealthIn this part of the course, you learn about healthy relationships and how to maintain them, as well as some important information about your physical health: How to be a safe driver and passenger, as well as how to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections (STI's)

Financial PlanningIn this part of the course, you learn how to make and keep a budget, to learn about credit (loans and credit cards) and debt, and how and why it is important to do your taxes.

Resume WritingHere is a link to a Prezi (like a PowerPoint presentation except online and more fun!) that gives some clear tips on how to write a resume. Feel free to click anywhere on the page and the presentation will start from that point on. It is primarily based on the resume attached below.

Writing a cover letter
Writing an effective cover letter is one of the most difficult skills studied in Planning 10, for all students, but particularly for ELL students. Here are a few documents that show you the features of cover letters, and also give you some tips for the kind of language you want to use.
|
The first document is a sample cover letter. The next document is the same cover letter, but arrows point to some important parts of the cover letter. The last one points to some important language to use or to think about when writing your cover letter.
