Planning Units:
-Planning for Graduation
-Planning for future Education
-Planning for a Career
-Planning Finances
-Planning for Health
-Planning for The Planet
What follows are activities and assignments which satisfy the curricular objectives
of the Planning Course.
Students working on Planning in a classroom can use these to work ahead, access direct
internet links from assignments and to have an 'always available' copy (no danger of losing ~smile )
Students working through the course in the online self-directed format may use these
assignments as their guide. The assignments do not have to be done in order, but the order presented is a logical progression.
It is important to note that for the in-class version of the course there are additional
items such as guest speakers and teacher-directed activities which unfortunately cannot be experienced through the online
self-directed version. The online self-directed version is for individuals who are self-disciplined and able to work
through assignments on their own and who have a valid reason for not being able to take the in-class course. These
students must be good at reading and following written directions and managing their time well to complete tasks. Students
must be accepted by the teacher and placed in this class by a school administrator or counsellor.
It is critical for the online course that students
and their parents have e-mail accounts and that parents recognize that communication regarding progress will be made
regularly by e-mail.

This first link is not part of the Planning Course. The Graduation Transition
requirements are however supported by everything you do in planning and must be completed in order to graduate.

The remainder of the links below connect you to large project assignments which
will cover all of the curricular objectives for planning. There are often several parts to each one. Read the
instructions carefully and do what they say. If you have questions, e-mail Heather hdcoey@gmail.com . Hand in or e-mail completed work to Heather as well.
REMEMBER: Read the entire assignment first before starting in on tasks
to make sure you are doing what is asked of you and get the scope of all the assignment components. Also, internet links CHANGE...please alert me if this is
the case so that they may be updated. Thank you.
