Ms. Kirshner, MBA, MS

AIM: What will we learn about a career in the field of our guest speaker today?

DO NOW: . Write down three more GREAT questions to ask our guest about a career in his/her professional field.


Homework: Write a thank you letter to our guest, answering all three of the following questions within the letter:
1. What did you learn today?
2. How can you use the knowledge and information you gained in your own life?
3. Did the presentation change your way of thinking about careers available to you after high school?

Students should be reminded if not in seat assigned or changed by Ms. Kirshner, student will be marked absent and parent contacted to explain why you are being marked absent.

Students must have notebooks and must be out with pen/pencil out, regardless of whether or not we have computers. Being unprepared results in a zero and failure. Don’t throw away a chance to succeed.

Students should go to site via google: http://mskirshnercomputerlab.blogspot.com/

Email should be sent to teacher at ProfessorKLK@aol.com

Period 6 has a change today. Our speaker will be a woman from Estee Lauder, instead of the police officer.

Period 8 - Mr. Adrian Techira, a director at Standard & Poor's Structured Finance Department will come to speak to us as scheduled about careers in the Finance Industry.

If Period 7 does not have a guest speaker, students will return to the Olypmics PowerPoint project assigned while Ms. Kirshner was out sick. Students will prepare a slide show about the Olympics 2008 in Bejing, China. We will discuss further.
