Extension Activity<br />
Ask <strong>the</strong> students to circle members in <strong>the</strong> family whom <strong>the</strong>y go to for help. For example, <strong>the</strong> teacher can start by asking<br />
“Who do you talk to when your child is sick” or “Who do you talk to if you have a conflict with a friend?” Then ask each<br />
student to remember or think about who he or she talked to (or would talk to) in making employment decisions.<br />
• Who did you talk to?<br />
• Why did you choose that person(s)?<br />
• What advice did <strong>the</strong> person(s) give you?<br />
• Did you follow <strong>the</strong> advice? Why or why not?<br />
Note that <strong>the</strong>re is no right person to talk to—it depends on your background and circumstances. Wrap-up <strong>the</strong> lesson by<br />
pointing out that we all seek advice and are influenced by family and friends. It is important to be aware of those influences<br />
and how <strong>the</strong>y can both help and hinder us as we explore careers.<br />
