Project COULD (Career Orientation Utilizing Language Development) was developed as a means of building skills, knowledges, and attitudes on elementary children's previously acquired backgrounds. Children learn to speak the grammar and vocabulary characteristic of the language heard most frequently at home and in the immediate environment. A series of units of instruction were developed from the concepts and vocabulary of the industries indigenous to Coos County (Oregon). Each unit of the instructional guide is designed to promote vocational awareness, exploration, and language development. Intended for fifth grade use, the six-week unit on seafood processing focuses on processing methods, vocabulary, job opportunities, and environmental factors. It is divided into eight sections: (1) a summary; (2) a unit outline; (3) project goals; (4) unit performance objectives; (5) vocabulary; (6) suggested learning activities (games, puzzles, and evaluation and followup activities); (7) lists of resource persons and materials (audiovisual and print media) and outlines for use by the resource person (suggestions, discussion topics, and related vocabulary); and (8) background information (suggested teacher reading; job and process flow charts for oyster, crab, shrimp, and fish processing; and job descriptions for 21 processing-related occupations).
