2. Pick Your Career From the Reality Check you must pick one of the three choices. If you picked the third choice you need to rethink the original Reality Check because you must have been missing education years needed or the job didn’t make enough money to support your life style… figure it out! What will it be??? Pick one of the three from YOUR Reality Check paper!
3. Project Overview Step 1 – research your career, so you can write a grant to get your company money to expand (which will make you rich!) Step 2 – make a business card for your growing company (get your name out there) Step 3 – make a website so MILLIONS of people will be able to find you on-line (which will make you even richer!) Extra Credit – create a brochure for your business (so people know who you are and/or what you sell)
4. You will need to write a paper stating why your business deserves a grant. Step 1 Grant - Bibliography (15 points) SEPARATE PAGE! You must COPY the website and paste it onto a Word document. You must use the SEARCH ENGINE, META-SEARCH ENGINE, or SUBJECT DIRECTORY link that you used to find the final hyperlink. You must have at least 5 sources (you get 2 pts. for search engines, 2 ½ pts. for each meta-search engine, and 3 pts. for subject directories) Example– go to the bibliography link in the Internet Research folder on my on-line classroom Grant (10 points) Give details about your career. (Heart Surgeon, Dentist, Garbage man, Computer technician, etc.) What is your ‘big idea’… or why do you want to expand… or why do you want to start this company.
