Suggested lesson plan for "A summer
camp to help pick a career"

Possible hard words: Proper names: Brandon Karpel, Nina Magers, Ryan Faulkner, Courtney Williams
Other words: alternative, helicopter, respirator, cardiologist

BEFORE READING: To acquaint the young reader with the article before reading it, have him or her read the list of possible hard words. Provide any help needed. Then ask the child to read the article aloud to you and be ready to discuss it afterward.

DURING READING: If any terms seem to be impairing fluency, supply the word fairly quickly.

AFTER READING: Use questions to assess comprehension and to promote a discussion of the article.

  1. How did the career camp change kids' thinking about health careers?
  2. What were some of the careers in the health field that the kids expressed an interest in?
  3. What seemed to be a top motivation for the kids to enter the healthcare field?
  4. Do you have an interest in a career in healthcare? Discuss.
