Making a career planning is not only a long-term career plan but also a short-term study plan.

剛拿到材料的時候，知道這次教學內容是survival of the fittest, 文章是關于將來的工作公司變化以及相對應所需要的技能技巧，內容相當枯燥乏味，遠離學生生活實際，無法提起讀者的任何興趣。同時，這次教學是借班上課，同學陌生，又是下午第一節課，學生容易犯困，注意力分散。因此，這節課對我來說簡直就是一種磨礪和挑戰。
怎樣上好一篇學生和老師都不感興趣的文章呢？首先，我想盡力把文章與學生的生活實際結合起來，因此我想到中學生制定職業規劃，文章正好是提及職業規劃所需要關注的社會環境變化這一方面，這樣與學生的將來息息相關，引起了學生的興趣。接著，導入文章主題后，我預先提出本堂課的任務是開展一次關于就業環境變化的interview，使學生帶著任務學習文章，目的明確。其次，開始分析解析文章，運用了閱讀技能skim和scan, 同時還把本章的閱讀技能fill in the gaps in a text，這樣三遍讀下來 ，學生對文章的了解就能清晰，為下一步interview打下了堅實的基礎。接下來，就要開展interview, 先是小組進行interview，然后是班級interview。最后，總結：可以根據本堂課的學習制定自己的職業規劃，同時也可以幫助制定自己近期的學習規劃，只有計劃充分的人才能取得成功。
