Careers blog post

In CAREERS EDUCATION we have been learning to write a skills based Curriculum Vitae.

A skills based C.V. focuses more on the skills that we have, rather than our work history.

Here is a link to our online Modelling Book that shows the process we have followed.

Three things that I have learned about writing a Curriculum Vitae are:

1. Is a brief (usually but not always) account of a person’s education, qualifications, previous work experience and other useful previous experience.

2. Is submitted when a person applies for a job and gives employers an idea of the suitability of a person for a particular job.

3. Promotes you as the right person for the job and should make an employer want to find out more about you ie. offer you a face to face interview.

Here is a link to my Skills based Curriculum Vitae.

Term 1 Novel Study Blog

This term I have been reading and studying the novel Fat Four eyed and useless

I found this novel exciting because I really wanted to find out more in the story when I was a quarter of the way through.

During the novel I had to complete two major assessment tasks. The first is an Explain Map which shows the consequences of a major event in the book. The second was a Describe++ Map (Inference map) which shows I how I have connected prior knowledge and other experiences to what I have been reading to make an inference.

• Year 7/8  Standard
• using several pieces of information to make inferences
• using their prior knowledge, along with information in the text, to interpret abstract ideas, complex plots, and sophisticated themes
• I can use a range of strategies, such as inferring, to work out more complex words.
