Lesson #36 - Looking Forward...

We'll keep the blog entry short and sweet today. Congratulations on surviving your senior year.

Remember that your 21st Century Short Essay "Take-Home" should come in to me today*. You are required to do two questions, but you may do a third for extra credit if you would like.

* LATE WORK: Here's my policy on this.

  • If you have any missing quizzes, those should be taken today unless you have made prior arrangements.
  • I will accept blog entries posted by midnight on MONDAY, MAY 30th and emailed assignments received by midnight on MONDAY, MAY 30th for credit. 
  • After Monday midnight, unless previous arrangements have been made, I will ONLY accept additional work as required to get you a passing grade. In other words, you're not getting higher than a D- after that point.

TODAY: We'll wrap this up with two activities that I think you will find at least marginally interesting.

First, the 21st Century "Job Fair" - I thought these were kind of neat. Joyce Gioia and Roger Herman both used to write for The Futurist magazine, and they composed a list of some jobs they expect to see emerging early in this century. We'll hand out the slips and you can check them out.

Second, I've got some lists and excerpts from the book, "The Extreme Future: The Top Trends That Will Reshape the World for the Next 5, 10 and 20 Years." We'll get you a pair of their "Top Ten" lists on a variety of subjects. We'll also get you a handout containing some lists that might or might not be related. You'll get a few minutes to "mingle," and then we'll see what you think.
