The interest-based curriculum materials are designed to correlate the subjects of English, math, science, and home economics in an effort to infuse academic skills into the world of work. The curriculum guide is designed for English curriculum and is divided into six sections: (1) the world of work, (2) speaking and listening, (3) paragraphing, (4) letter writing and job application, (5) research, and (6) enrichment materials. Activities involve pretest questions, handouts, films, group work, poetry readings, displays, attitude tests, biography writing, research on occupations, oral reports, discussions, debates, guest speakers, readings, profiles, role playing, and interviews. Instructional materials, evaluative material (unit tests, class evaluation) and resources supplement the lessons. Each section is organized around an overview, objectives, activities, materials needed, and bibliography. (JB)
