Module One - Curriculum-based learning in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) motifs linked to Standards and Bloom's Taxonomy for higher level thinking for critical skill development. Module One is sectioned into multiple, rigorous pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities for each chapter of the book. The activities are constructed with a balanced approach to reading, writing and oral language development. The activity design contains close reading, text dependent questions, written prompts, opportunities for students to organize responses and rich vocabulary development. It cultivates collaborative conversations and lends to spaces for new narratives in the classroom.
Module Two - STEAM Career Preparation and Exploration Module Two explores STEAM including Career Technical Education (CTE) and pathways to ignite student interest. The design links the reading, writing and oral language components as in Module One. In Module Two, students will travel with Lena for a personal career assessment, through occupational research, and analyzing labor market information. Students will venture on to learn resume construct and analysis, video interviewing submissions, and soft skills school-career connection, based on research from the Department of Labor (DOL).
