Module Breakdown

So I'm brainstorming a new sequence of instruction for the Skill Statements portion of our Job Hunt training. Here are my thoughts:

Part1(Want Ads):Text based introduction of common job ad followed by practice identifying employer desired skills with followed by video feedback of employer expanding on skills desired.

Part2(Personal Skills):Video introduction of "average" student talking about their skills, learner will practice identifying skills possessed, video feedback.

Part3(Skill Statements): Show example simple skill statements on a resume (use skills from part 2). Expand on skills (ask for more information from video student) Show expanded skill statements and explain why they communication more information.

Part 4 (Further Practice): New student, want ad, skills, personal skills, expand statements, feedback.

Part 5 (Customize statements) either have students fill out simple questionnaire which looks up statements in database or connect them to the online forum to share sample statements. Another possibility could be having the learner write a (skill desired, skills list, expanded statements) for several additional want ads. Perhaps having the student find a job description/want ad related to a position they want and have them repeat the process.
