HERE'S WHAT TO DOGetting Started: Writing a General Resume
- When teens express interest in seeking a job (or perhaps even before that point), brainstorm with them all of the activities and jobs they have done in the past. Remind teens to include education, jobs, volunteer activities, club activities, memberships, special skills/talents, and other interests they have. Have them make a list of these experiences so they start seeing how a resume might take shape.
- Spend some time with teens looking at sample resumes online using the Sample Resume Websites to get an idea of what a resume should look and sound like. Discuss with teens what jobs these resumes are prepared for, what categories the resumes include, how the resumes look (how they are formatted and in what order they list information), and what action words (words and phrases used to describe the specific jobs/duties a person had or performed while working for an business or organization) the resumes use to describe the tasks completed. If possible, discuss with the teens your own experiences with resume writing, including sharing your most current resume.
- Using word processing software on a computer, work with the teens to develop their own general resumes using the brainstorming notes created earlier. Teens may choose to use a resume template available in the word processing software or may choose to create their own resume designs. Return to sample resumes for ideas on how to design the resume and place the information on the page.
- Review with teens the Resume Action Words Handout. Discuss what action words or phrases may work with the their resume and create a list of other action words and phrases that describe their work in their jobs and volunteer activities. Compare these words to the bulleted items in the teens' resumes and discuss ways the they could strengthen the action words on their resumes.
- Spend time with teens reviewing resume help websites online using the Suggested Online Student Resume Resources handout. Discuss what types of help these resources offer. For example, what does each site say about how to create a resume? What do these sites say make an effective or ineffective resume?
- Return to the teens' resumes. Based on the resources you just explored, discuss with them what they are doing well in their resumes. Encourage teens to decide what they could do to improve the resumes based on what they learned from the help resources.
- If desired, teens should share their resume with a peer or an adult to receive feedback about their design and content. They may use the first page of the Resume Peer Review Guide to do this. Or, if you have contacts in the business or volunteer community, seek feedback from someone who works with resumes on a regular basis.

1. Arctic Adventure
Free to the entire K-12 community, this programming uses the allure of Arctic dogsled expeditions and Arctic research as the vehicle through which K-12 teachers and students gain an understanding of natural and social sciences while they experience the cultures of the Arctic. Since 2000, these adventurous learning expeditions have circumnavigated the Arctic to observe, experience, and document traditional ecological knowledge and collect previously unknown in-situ environmental realities–while collaborating with K-12 students and teachers in state-of-the-art online learning environments. Standard-aligned curricula are also available. 2. Global Trek This adventure from Scholastic looks like Expedia or Travelocity, but is created for students eager to explore the world … from their computer. Student can choose from a list of countries and will be asked to keep a travel journal to write about different topics during their online trip. 3. Google Lit Trips Google Lit Trips are free, downloadable files that mark the journeys of characters from famous literature on the surface of Google Earth. At each location along the journey, there are placemarks with pop-up windows containing a variety of resources including relevant media, thought-provoking discussion starters, and links to supplementary information about “real world” references made in that particular portion of the story. According to their creator, Google Lit Trips “three-dimensionalize the reading experience by placing readers ‘inside the story’ traveling alongside the characters; looking through the windshield of that old jalopy in The Grapes of Wrath or waddling alongside Mr. and Mrs. Mallard’s duckling family in Make Way for Ducklings.” 4. Hershey’s Factory Sometimes students just want to explore something cool, like chocolate. Thanks to step-by-step videos on its chocolate-making process, Hershey’s gives students a fun virtual field trip … even if it’s minus the smell and taste of chocolate! 5. Le Louvre Take a virtual tour of the Louvre to experience a 360-degree panoramic view of many of the museum’s halls. The virtual tour web page offers different departments and architectural views of the museum. Tours currently include Egyptian Antiquities, Remains of the Louvre’s Moat, and Galerie d’Apollon, as well as many other rooms included in the museum (some are even closed to the public!). 6. Mt. Everest From recent panoramas and photo galleries, to travel logs and fun facts, students can make their very own virtual climb of Mt. Everest. 7. Museum of Natural History This comprehensive virtual tour allows visitors using a desktop computer (Windows, Mac, Linux) or a mobile device (iPhone, iPad, Android) to take a virtual, self-guided, room-by-room walking tour of the whole museum. Students can browse a list of past exhibits, which is included on the ground floor map. Visitors can navigate from room to room by clicking map locations or by following blue arrow links on the floor that connect the rooms. The desktop version includes camera icons to indicate hotspots where the visitor can get a close-up view of a particular object or exhibit panel. 8. Panoramas of the world View high-definition panoramas from anywhere in the world, including snowy mountain tops and deep sea coral reefs, at 360 Cities, which contains one of the internet’s largest collection of uploaded panoramic images. Students can access to navigable views of cities, natural landscapes and much more. The site also offers tools for people to create their own panoramas. For more specific panoramas, check out the Seven Wonders of the World. This website has panoramic views of all Seven Wonders of the World, which include the Colosseum in Rome, The Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan, The Taj Mahal in India, Machu Picchu in Peru Christ Redeemer in Rio, and Chichén Itzá in Mexico. 9. Space Take your younger students to the moon with these up-to-date, interactive resources from the Connections Academy Blog. Older students can explore Mars through NASA’s downloadable virtual field trip, an immersive multimedia application developed to support student and user exploration of areas on Earth that have been identified as analog sites to regions on Mars. Analog sites are those areas that share some common traits with sites on Mars and have been identified based on their significance and importance to NASA. 10. White House “Inside the White House” is a good idea for older elementary and middle school students learning about government, as well as any civics or American history class. Students can watch videos or take an interactive tour through the West Wing, the South Lawn, the East Wing, and the Residence. There is also a slide show of the presidents and other historical information.
