Power Standards

Since Business Education is not considered a core subject (which is a shame), I had a tough time finding a Power Standard I thought would relate. However, I chose Power Standard 5 in Reading and Language Arts. View it by click here.

Since this Power Standard states that:
Using a specified format (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago), students will create an argumentative/persuasive or informative research project using a variety of electronic and non-electronic resources and then plan, create, organize and present a unique and properly documented media product to a specific audience.

I thought this fit with Business Education because it requires electronic resources and the creation of some sort of document. Additionally, I thought my struggling student may find it interesting because it is an argumentative or persuasive presentation. High school students feel passionately about things, whether it be fashion, music or politics. I thought a project like this would give a student an opportunity to express themselves and their interests.

Currently, I am doing my clinicals in a Web Publishing class. For that purpose, I picked a WV CSO for Web Publishing. Since they are saved as Word documents, I could not link directly to the document. However, here are some CSOs I felt related:
BE.O.WPP.6.1 utilize a variety of technical sources (e.g., Internet, manuals, journals, directions, reports, etc.) to complete career/technical assignments and projects.
BE.O.WPP.6.2 demonstrate writing skills required to complete career/technical assignments and projects.
BE.O.WPP.7.1 search online using a range of technology tools and media to access relevant information needed for problem solving.
BE.O.WPP.7.2 create information for oral, written, and multimedia communications, adhering to copyright laws.
