I use these resources with my students during the 5th Grade Career Portfolio Project. After students research and write a report a career of their choice, I give them a choice about how they want to publish their work. This resource includes an example of the career portfolio project published 3 different ways (Prezi, PowerPoint, Word).

Seeing examples of the various formats greatly helped my students understand the task. I also print these to differentiate for students needing additional support. Students are able to refer to quality writing to improve their own writing.

Get your students talking about careers using these Career Posters as a word splash and matching game! These posters support the 5th Grade Career Portfolio Project and College and Career Readiness Lessons.

Full page posters display a wide variety of careers in the clusters of:
Education, Healthcare Science, Engineering and Technology, Arts and Humanities, Business and Computer Science, Architecture, Construction, Communications, and Transportation

There are 6 main posters, each showing a different cluster. One set of posters includes cluster titles and a description of the cluster for your walls. The other set is untitled, so students can match a the cluster title and description to each corresponding poster (also included).  Have students work in small groups to determine each career cluster and get them fired up about learning about careers. Laminate the posters and have them circle the careers they want to learn about. (I've also had great success projecting these word splash posters to facilitate whole group discussion about careers.) Have fun while meeting the Common Core's requirements for assisting your students students in becoming College and Career ready!

I use this planning template with 5th grade students as we work through Georgia's 5th Grade Career Portfolio Project. I print the 4-square planner on the back of the preliminary planning page (also included) to help students organize the information they collect as they research careers on www.gacollege411.org.

I've also included a completed 4-square example for the students to help them clearly see how a the completed organizer should look.
