Anthony completes the What Influences You Graphic Organizer to see who influences his thoughts, beliefs, etc. about the world of work.

In start up activities and discussions it is evident that Anthony understands that he needs to try to connect information he learns with what he knows about himself. As well, he took a graphic organizer home to discuss with his parents and fill out. He was able to listen and summarize the different comments from family as well as integrate his own ideas. Great job!	Graphic Organizer Discussing with Others

09/14	Notes on Building and Public Works visit		A vocational training teacher and students visit the class. Anthony learns about the Buildings and Public Works sector and becomes interested in carpentry. He takes notes about their visit.	When a vocational training teacher and his students visited the class Anthony asked questions and took some notes. The visit led him to take an interest in interviewing his uncle who is in the woodworking field. He will need some guidance on how to make sense of all the bits of information he is gathering in order to bring all this together.

09/21	Interview with uncle Type : Graphic organizer Click image to enlarge		Anthony’s uncle works in the home building business and so he arranges an interview for which he prepares questions and gets his teacher’s feedback. He documents the phone interview Q & A using the 3 Questions and Answers graphic organizer.	The visit led Anthony to take an interest in interviewing his uncle who is in the wood working field. With help from me he prepared some interview questions and carried out an interview with his uncle. Anthony shared the information from the interview with his classmates. Anthony is now suffering form information overload, we will work on summarizing and editing content so that he can start to make connections to what he is uncovering. I see the connections to his profile, but I am not sure that Anthony does.	Graphic Organizer 3 Questions and Answers

09/28	Reflection Click image to enlarge		Anthony writes a reflection about what he has learned so far from his experiences and what meaning it has for him in relation to his personal profile.	Using guiding questions, and criteria for good reflection, Anthony reflected on what he has been learning and how it related to his personal interests and abilities. When I discussed his reflection with him he recognized that he would like to stay close to home and the fact that a carpentry course is offered close to home makes it to appealing.

09/28	Making Connections Type: Graphic organizer Click image to enlarge		Anthony compares two trades that interest him.	Anthony needed guidance to summarize his ideas, so I suggested a GO: Making connections. He worked on this at home and then we discussed his findings and added to the list to complete the task at a school.	Graphic Organizer: Making Connections

10/05	What Inspires Me Type: Graphic organizer Click image to enlarge		Anthony considers how what he has learned might add to what he knows about himself. He uses the What Inspires Me graphic organizer to document his thoughts. He decides to look further into work related to building and carpentry while another classmate looks into plastering.	Through discussion Anthony was able to link the fact that he likes making things and in his earlier discussion with his parents they had pointed out to him that he was fairly particular. He thought these characteristics would work well with carpentry.	Graphic Organizer What Inspires Me

At home	Vocational sectors and gender bias Type: Activity Click image to enlarge		Anthony participates in the discussions of gender myths and realities.	Anthony enjoyed this topic because he has several family members who work in non-traditional jobs. He was able to present a different perspective on some trades that classmates had not considered.

Anthony did a good job on his advertisement for dental hygienists, he grasped the gender nuances and shared his surprise as to why “more guys don’t go for this”, with classmates.
