Life Skills Discussion - What will you have to know how to do once you graduate high school and become independent? What things do your parents/guardians do that you have no idea how to do?
Brainstorm Worksheet
* It is recommended to brainstorm skills and employers at least a month before inviting your first guest in. For example, do the entry event for this PBL in early September and plan your first Figure It Out Friday for mid October to give your employers time to add it to their schedules.
