Lesson 2.21, Unit 2. One period. Eleven slides. The Round 2 replay block (Step 1) runs on the board with the October 1929 prices from the kit; Slide 2 holds the instructions. Switch to the rest of the deck after the reset cue.
Do now
- Write three jobs you saw a real person doing this week.
- Not on TV. Not on a screen.
- The bus driver counts. So does the person who made your sandwich.
- Three minutes.
Teacher notes
Collect ten jobs on the board fast. They become the practice sort on Slide 4.
Round 2, block 2: October 1929
- The crash you knew was coming. Ten minutes.
- Prices: RAIL 45, OIL 50, GAS 32, ELEC 45, STEEL 50, AUTO 30, RADIO 30. Margin loans come due now, in cash or in shares.
- Sell, hold, or buy.
- Write the Block 2 line on your replay half sheet. The block closes at the reset cue.
Teacher notes
Round 2, block 2 of 3. The Round 7 prices and dispatch are pages 2 and 3 of Handout 02.14 - The Gilded Age Market Kit.md. Keep the posters out of it; they wait.
What a cluster is
- A career cluster is a group of jobs that share skills, knowledge, and a work setting.
- There are thousands of jobs. There are 16 clusters.
- You do not have to pick a job at thirteen.
- You have to know which three clusters are worth a closer look.
Teacher notes

Teacher notes
Sort three do now jobs with the class: bus driver is 16, sandwich maker is 9, school nurse is 8. Ask the veterinarian question here or save it for the walk: a veterinarian is 1, not 8.
Eight of them start in this room
- Hospitality and Tourism. Human Services. Education and Training. Health Science.
- Business Management and Administration. Marketing. Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. Arts, A/V Technology and Communications.
- Those eight posters are on a different color.
- Every unit this year touches at least one of them.
Teacher notes
Do not announce this slide before the walk if you would rather a student notice the colors first. Show it in the debrief instead.
Read the letters
- Your Lesson 2.2 interest quiz gave you two letters, from R, I, A, S, E, C.
- Each poster says which letters often fit that cluster.
- Both your letters match: lean Yes. One matches: Maybe. None: No, unless you have a real reason.
- The letters are a guide, not a rule.
Teacher notes
Image: the six letters with a one-word meaning under each: R builds, I studies, A creates, S helps, E leads, C organizes.
The cluster walk rules
- Groups of four. Start at the poster I give you.
- Rotate on the cue every 35 seconds. Sixteen posters in ten minutes.
- At each poster: read the name and the three jobs; compare the letters to your two letters; mark Yes, Maybe, or No; write a two-word reason.
- Whisper. Do not skip a poster because it is far away.
Teacher notes
Use the reset cue once at the halfway point on purpose. Circulate with the clipboard.
Timer
- 35 seconds per poster.
- Cue means move.
- Ten minutes total.
Teacher notes
Image: a large countdown timer.
Choose your top three
- From your Yes column, pick three.
- For each, one sentence that names an interest, a strength, or a quiz letter from Topic 2.1.
- Sentence starter: "I chose ___ because I like ___."
- Circle any of your three that are FACS-related.
Teacher notes
Fewer than three Yes marks: promote a Maybe and say why. Every poster Yes: "Which of these would you not want to do on a Monday morning?"
Pair share
- Read your top three and one reason.
- Your partner names one job from a poster that fits your number one.
- Write it under your number one.
- Three minutes.
Exit card
- My top three clusters.
- One job from a poster I did not know existed.
- One cluster my quiz pointed to that I marked No, and why.
- Three people read line two aloud.
Teacher notes
"Needs more" is three clusters with no reasons or fewer than three. Those students start tomorrow's research card with a conference at the desk. Tell the class: tomorrow is the research card, the last Round 2 block (1932, then the 1936 close), and the Unit 2 Test (20 items, 15 minutes, all five topics).
