In centuries past, many (most?) jobs involved agriculture and/or production of tangible goods. Today many (most?) jobs involve information. What will the jobs of the future be? Will we still have farms? (We will always need food, but will it come from farms?) Will people be needed to work on farms? Will there still be small businesses?
What are some jobs from the past that no longer exist? What are some jobs that exist now that are going away?
Many authentic ways that students could answer and present the above questions. Reports, charts, graphs, posters, living history presentations…
And…students could create a resume for a future job that they would like to have. What can they do now to authentically prepare for this job?
