Writing Professions

This morning, please watch the following video(s) and respond to them collectively on your BLOG. Your blog post is due by the end of class.


LAB WORK/RESEARCH: Select and sign up for one of the following occupations (while you're watching the videos, I'll be coming around to let you choose your profession randomly). Your job today in class is to use the internet to find out some information to report back to the class on these jobs. Find out:
A. What is the job? (Describe what the job entails or involves)
B. What is the median (average) salary for the job
C. What education and/or requirements are needed to get the job.
D. Anything else you found interesting about the job.
Please record your findings in your journal. Take notes answering questions A-D.

By period 4, please be prepared to share this information with the rest of the class. Some of the categories include: novelist, technical writer, journalist, reporter, copy editor, publisher, advertising/marketing, screenwriter/television writer, columnist, playwright, poet, lyricist (song writer), ghostwriter, press secretary, lawyer, communication manager, reviewer/critic, blogger, researcher, public relations, literary agent, freelance writer, etc.

If you finish early, please continue writing on your blog. You may write any of the previous posts you did not complete, revise your work, or create something new. We'll report out starting period 4 on our professions. Take notes on what others say in your journal.

HOMEWORK: None.
