=National Lampoon's Cherokee Vacation =     6th Grade - Career Exploration   This project will take the students outside of the classroom both literally and figuratively. They will be studying the Hospitality industry in both the United States, but in an international community as well. They will learn the ins and outs of the Entrepreneurial and Business technologies pathway and the Hospitality and Tourism career cluster. Students will have the opportunity to work in a hotel for a day and find out the job opportunities for local individuals. Finally, we will use the 6th grade Social Studies curriculum to compare and contrast the American and European economic markets within the Hospitality industry.

 * Concerns about visual ranking:** I am only concerned that the students will have different takes on this prompt. When we did it in our Intel class, there were two different people who had two different understanding on how to complete the assignment. One of them did it just how I had invisioned it, but the other seemed to take a different slant. I guess I will definitely have to make sure that I monitor students on this activity to make sure they are headed down the correct path.

 * Concerns about Seeing Reason tool:** I am concerned that students will not understand the concept or it will be too advanced for their understanding. Hopefully modeling will eliminate this problem.

 * Concerns about Showing Evidence tool?** I am concerned that students have weak internet searching skills and will not be able to decide how to find their evidence. Students are often very opinionated but have difficulties finding evidence for their claims. While I am concerned about this I am excited because this tool will help them sharpen these skills.
