The career activities guide in language arts, part of an Idaho State Department of Vocational Education career exploration series for grades 7, 8, and 9, is designed as supplementary material to enrich the regular curriculum. Any one activity in the guide might be used without involving any other activities. The cross-referenced index indicates grades, subject, career cluster, occupation, and, in most instances, subject concept. Performance objectives, activity situation and steps, materials, and special recommendations are outlined for the various job titles. Also included are terminology and activity sheet class handouts. Career clusters included are: home economics and consumer; industrial arts; arts, crafts, and humanities; business occupations; communications and media; hospitality and recreation; environmental control; personal service; manufacturing; transportation; health occupations; public service; agriculture and natural resources; marine science; marketing and distribution; construction; miscellaneous activities. Subject concepts involve various aspects of language arts such as creative and descriptive writing, written and verbal directions, observational and organizational skills, reading and speaking skills, vocabulary, decision making, problem solving, listening, and role playing.
