Developing writing skills through career research
This collection, developed by Urban Dove Team Charter School, is a look into how the school integrates writing at two points in the career-exploration research process. The result is a three-paragraph essay and a cover letter to a job found through online research. The essay helps students reflect and focus after completing an interest inventory and before conducting additional career research. The cover letter - simulating an application to an actual job posted on line - helps students synthesize their interests and their research.
