Classroom jobs
In the past (and this year also) I do a whole year economic project where the students are paid and pay rent. Well with this type of project I didn't like the typical classroom job names, so I made them a little more......realistic sounding. Not everyone has a job (although they can earn their money other ways) and jobs are rotated every 4-5 weeks depending on what's going on. I do teach the students how to fill out a job application.....I know it's old fashion with paper and pencil, but same ideas and I have yet to figure out how to have students fill out an application online.........and after applications are filled out, they interview. We discuss what to wear to an interview, eye contact, and .........for lack of better words how to sell themselves. Let's be honest that's what an interview is! You're hyping the boss up why you are the best. The kids actually do really well interviewing and its a few minutes I get to know the kids without talking about an assignment...............Below I have attached my job descriptions and application

Feel free to ask questions OR give me ideas of how you handle jobs in your rooms!
And I have done some Googling but have yet to figure out this whole picture thing
