Career Research Paper Expectations [| __Rubric__]

Note cards must include:

__Complete Content:__  You must research and include the following topics, but if you find more topics not listed, you may count those as extra credit.

• Education (what classes/creditsmust you take to graduate from high school?What are the requirements for acceptance to two colleges/universities that offer the major you want?What are the costs of each school: books and fees; tuition; housing and food?What is necessary to graduate from those two colleges/universities?) NOTE: a description of campus life is NOT extra credit. •Licensing and certification requirementsnecessary for the career

•On-the-job training (if any necessary)

•Personal and professional skills necessary for the career

•Job description (What are the responsibilities both daily and overall? Hours per week? What is the average salary earned in this career and is the salary dependent on years and/or education? Where would one practice this career? How might one advance in this career? What salary or recognition levels if any would one have available?)

•Career Growth Future Projections (In addition, briefly describe two related careers.For instance:Teacher is related to social worker and psychologist NOTelementary or high school)

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All note card information must be from reputable sources (do not use Wikipedia; DO use .edu or .org, or a site you have verified with me) and each source must have a separate bibliography card with the source information listed correctly on only one side of the card. All note cards should have only information of one topic listed on only one side in bullet points (example: bibliography card title: high school credits necessary to graduate <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•four years of English, •three years of science and so on) You are required to have a minimum of six (6) source cards and fifty (50) note cards.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All note and bibliography cards are due on Thursday, April 17, 2013.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Next, group your graded note cards by topic (you should have a rainbow of colors for each topic. You will use these to help you create a sentence outline) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Alphabetize bibliography cards by first word or the first word that comes next differently if you have same first names for sources (you will use this to complete your bibliography page)

__Create a sentence outline beginning with your thesis statement about why you chose to research this career:__ {Your sentence outline should be based on your note card topics (example)} FORMAT IS INCORRECT BELOW SO SEE THE HANDOUT I GAVE TO YOU.
