Page 1: The worked example

This resume belongs to a made-up eighth grader named Dev Okonkwo. Dev is not a real person. Every single line on this resume came from something this class actually does, which means you can write one just like it. As you read, circle the summary line and underline the output in three of the bullets.

Look at what this resume does that most first drafts do not:

1. It is one page and there are no paragraphs.
2. Every bullet has a number in it, or a named audience, or both.
3. The experience section leads with school and family work, because that is what a 13-year-old has.
4. It never says "hard worker," "responsible," or "team player." It shows those things instead.
5. The summary line says what kind of work, not what kind of person.
6. The languages section is there, and it is the section most students forget.

Do not put your street address on a resume. Town and a way to reach you is enough.

Summary (one sentence: who you are, and what kind of work you want)

SKILLS

Six to nine of them. Things you can do, not things you like. End with languages.

School work, volunteering, family responsibilities, and paid jobs all go here. Put the strongest one first. Every bullet needs all three parts: the work, the explanation, the output.

Partner check

Swap with a partner. Your partner marks these eight items on your sheet. Mark honestly. A "no" with the missing part named helps more than a "yes" that is not true.

Partner's name: ____________________

The bullet that needs work is ______________________________________________

and the part it is missing is _______________________________________________

My revision

Make at least one change based on the partner check. Then write this sentence:

An employer can now picture ________________________________________________

which they could not before, because I changed ______________________________

Teacher key

There are no right answers on page 2. The checks are structural.

Conference script, two minutes per student, in this order, every time:

1. "Read me your summary line." (Listen for a kind of work, not a trait.)
2. Pick the weakest bullet yourself. Do not ask them to pick it.
3. Ask the three questions: How many? For whom? What came out of it?
4. "Say the fixed bullet out loud." Then: "Write it."
5. Next student.

Conference codes for the class list:

• S the structure is there and the bullets have all three parts.
• P the structure is there but two or more bullets are missing the output.
• N the page has fewer than four real bullets.

Students coded N get the first conferences in Lesson 7.3's pair round and a partially completed template with two bullets pre-started from their own folder.

Partner check scoring: the marked checklist is collected with the draft and scored complete, partial, or missing for daily work. A checklist counts as complete if all eight items are marked and the "missing part" line names an actual part (the work, the explanation, or the output). A checklist that is eight yeses with a blank missing-part line is marked partial and the pair is asked one question: "Show me the bullet with the output in it."

What to look for when scoring Rubric 07 criterion 1 from this template:

• Not Yet: fewer than four sections filled, or fewer than three real bullets, or a line the student cannot point to, or the page is paragraphs.
• Approaching: all seven sections but three or more bullets missing the output, or no summary line, or experience lists only paid work, or bullets start with "I."
• Meets: all seven sections, at least five bullets with all three parts each carrying a number or a quantity or a named audience, every line pointable, one page, no paragraphs.
• Exceeds: Meets plus a bullet from each of three different units, a summary naming a kind of work, and a revision the student can explain in one sentence.

On the worked example. Dev Okonkwo is fictional and must stay fictional. Do not replace this with a former student's resume even with the name removed. If a student says "this is fake," the honest answer is yes, and every line on it is something this class did, so check it against your own folder.

On the phone number. The example's phone number uses the 555-01xx block, which is reserved for fiction. Tell students that putting a real phone number on a resume is a choice they should make with an adult at home, and that a school email is enough.
