A second grader peeks at jobs people do for an independent
project. Find out what she learned through her studies!

people do.
- The goal is to learn more about at least 10 different
careers.
- Begin by interviewing your parents about their career
choices. You may want to visit their work to see
them at work, and even take pictures to share.
- Design a question form with 10 – 20 questions and
ask 10 people to fill it out. Sample questions.
They should all have different jobs.

about their jobs and additional careers that interest
you.

summary of each job.
