Year 9 Options Choices Day 3 - Activities to help you make a decision All resources can be found on: https://fulford.york.sch.uk/ks4-options-2021-22/
Overview of todays session: Good morning Year 9. For the past couple of days you have been accessing resources/videos/careers websites to help you with your Year 9 Options Choices. You have hopefully had a go at the Buzz Quiz and discovered which animal you are, and may have found out about lots of careers you were unaware of. Today we are going to reflect on the research you have already done, think about the different subjects you can choose from for your Options Choices, and decide which subjects are the best for you. You have 4 activities to complete today to help you to reflect on your ideas. You may not have time to do all of this this morning but you can use these activities over the next few days to help you to focus and make your decision.
Activity 1 - Look at the subjects that are being offered at Fulford School. Write down the subjects that you like and why you like them. Remember, you are not allowed to say you like them because your friends like them or because you like the teacher!
Activity 2 - Find out about any subjects that you have not studied before that are being offered and what they involve. Think about if you would like them and why. New subject?......think about why it might be right for me. Example: Health & Social Care Mainly practical course; I prefer coursework; I am interested in learning about and working with people; I am thinking about becoming a Social Worker in the future
Activity 3 - Write down any subjects that you DONT like and why you DON T like them. You are not allowed to say you don t like them because you don t like the people in the class or because you don t like the teacher!
Activity 4 - Find out if the subjects that you are studying now will be the same in Years 10 and 11. For example, PE in Years 7 and 8 may be very practical but in Years 10 and 11 may involve a lot more writing. Speak to/email the relevant subject teachers in school to get an idea of the course content for the subject you are interested in at GCSE and discuss whether this will be suitable for you.
