PA Career Education & Work Curriculum 17-18

As of January 1st, 2018 every student in Pennsylvania is now required to complete evidence of work in each of the four areas of the PA CEW Standards.  A comprehensive program was created in January to get students at CCS-515 to complete, and document their progress.  Here is the checklist each student should use to find assignments, and note completion:

Every assignment is listed, with a link to the documents.  Students should create a folder, in their Google Drive, named (Last Name) CEW Evidence 515 and place all completed (scanned) work there for review.  ALL FOLDERS, and CONTENTS should be shared with Mr. Scribner (hscribner@ccs.us), their Homeroom Teacher, and their Counselor for verification.



Good Luck!

"You are about to embark on the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you… I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle." – Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower

Today I would like everyone to take a minute to think about the courage, sacrifice, and importance of the D-Day Invasion.  This is the 74th Anniversary of this historic event that changed the continent of Europe profoundly!  Please watch the video below in class, read some of the articles related to the event, and if you have time, try to challenge your friend to the Ultimate History Quiz on the History Channel website.  I hope you can understand what kids, most just a few years older than you at the time, helped to do when they were thrust into battle so many years ago!  Thank you in advance for your time and effort with this learning experience.  Please share this with your families!

Please complete the CCS-515 D-Day Worksheet for additional credit in my class this marking period.

"156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of France’s Normandy coast, where they met stiff resistance from well-entrenched Germans in concrete bunkers placed at strategic points along the coast and beaches with mines and other anti-tank obstacles as well as wooden stakes, barbed wire, and metal tripods to impede landing craft and the movement of troops once ashore.

Within three months, however, the northern part of France would be freed by more than 2 million Allied troops and the invasion force would be preparing to enter Germany, where they would meet up with Soviet forces moving in from the east."

WWII Veterans you could talk to about their service: Yielding to the inalterable process of aging, the men and women who fought and won the great conflict are now in their late 80s and 90s. They are dying quickly—according to US Department of Veterans Affairs statistics, 558,000 of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II are alive in 2017. - https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/wwii-veteran-statistics

FINAL QUESTION EXAMPLE ANSWER (Do Not Use As One Of Your Answers!)

Q5 Digital Tool:  GMAIL/EMAIL

a. Email is used in place of sending letters to people. It is electronic mail that can be transmitted electronically. Senders can write a letter in different formats and then by addressing it to as many people as required, send each recipient the same message. Recipients can send replies, and emails can be forwarded. Everything happens in fractions of a second. The sender can also attach files such as documents, pictures and hyperlinks along with the email. We have used email all year to communicate, turn in work, and to receive classroom instructions.

b. We can collaborate on numerous projects with it.  We can also communicate with others.

c.  Everyone should use email to transmit messages, and keep an archive of communications with different people.  This is a good way to make sure people get information quickly and completely.
