The Future of Work Poster
We involved every kindergarten and first grade student in the public schools of Ste. Genevieve County and the kindergarten, first, second, and some older grades in the Catholic schools of the county in predicting the Future of Work in Ste. Genevieve. Students answered the question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” They drew themselves as adults engaged in their predicted occupation and they also made >a 10 second sound recording of their name, age, and desired occupation, which they received. The sound modules were purchased through a grant from the Missouri Humanities Council at a generous discount provided by AGC Sound. The lesson plans we created for this curriculum connection are available here: Curriculum Connection
