The career education activities in the guide are to be integrated with the school curriculum at the fifth grade level. These activities are designed to help elementary children become more aware of the world of work and may be used selectively according to class needs and capabilities. A career education philosophy, how to use the guide, concepts to develop (grades K-6), and intermediate (grades 4-6) objectives are outlined. Fifth grade career education activities are organized as they relate to seven personal and world-of-work oriented objectives. Units are provided in the subject areas of language arts, social studies, art, math, science, and music. Each unit is keyed to a broad objective, broken down by specific behavioral objectives for each of which there are suggested activities, teaching techniques, and resource materials. A sampling of activities includes individual and group research, mapwork, comparing jobs, reading, discussions, field trips, chemistry experiments, filmstrips, and recordings. Guidelines for field trips, resource people, and interviewing intermediate grades are appended. (Author/NH)
