UNIT 3: Apply TARGET MARKETS FOR YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT Independent Work Identifying Target Markets - Challenge students to take what they learned from the Collaborative Activity and use it to make a plan for how they will tailor their personal statement for the different schools and programs to which they are applying. TAILORING YOUR RESUME Whole Group Discussion Tailoring a Resume - Break students up into small groups and give each group a "problem." Have them discuss the problem, and come up with a negative approach to solving the problem (a "bad idea") and a positive approach to solving the problem (a "smart idea"). After each group has worked, ask a volunteer to present their ideas to the class, and discuss. NEXT STEPS: YOUR COLLEGE APPLICATION ACTION PLAN Independent Work CAAP Work Time - Instruct students to begin working on the next steps on their College Application Action Plans.
