For their formal research paper in English class, the juniors are exploring different career options that fit their individual goals and interests. They will compare and contrast the different careers' salaries, work environments, school requirements, advantages, disadvantages, and everything in-between. Finally, they will then present their chosen careers to the class. Mrs. Caery hopes that this assignment helps prepare them more for life outside of high school!
