For Weekly Writing 2, you will build on what you wrote for Weekly Writing 1 to clarify which major or career you would like to focus on for this semester and also consider what you know and wonder about the career/major.
If you feel like you need more information on a job/career path as you write these first few weekly writing assignments, I recommend checking out the following site: Occupational Outlook Handbook
First, state the major and/or career that you plan to focus on for this semester. (This can just be one sentence at the top of your weekly writing document).
Then respond to the following prompts:
What do you know about this career/major? What interests you about it? What concerns you about it as a potential path? What do you know (if anything) about how technology is or is not used in this career/major? (Think about software/apps, physical technology, etc.)
Note: do not list these prompts and reply to each one individually; use these as a starting place to explore ideas.
