Description
1. Divide the class into small group
of three or four students.
2. Have each of the groups collect
application forms from at least four different places of employment.
3. As one group, have the students
compare and contrast the different application forms using the blackline master
entitled, Application Forms Compare and Contrast Frame.
4. As they work through the
different application forms, have the groups write a list of terms or questions
that they don't understand. These can be entered on the blackline master
entitled, Application Form Confusing Terms and Questions.
5. Once the smaller groups have
completed these tasks, regroup. Discuss how to give your application form a
greater chance of being noticed:
- By following
directions
- By knowing your
rights
- By being accurate and
complete
- By being neat
- By being specific about
the job for which you are applying
- By proof-reading the form
before submitting it
6. Discuss the questions that
were common on all of the application forms, and discuss some of the different
questions that were asked. Discuss how one would go about answering each of
those questions properly.
7. Have the class present the lists
of terms and questions that they didn't understand. The students should share
these and the class should discuss the meanings.
8. Finally, have the students
practise completing application forms by either providing a generic form or
having the students complete one of the application forms that was
collected.
