Profiles Packet & Activity
Using the provided example profiles (of Marie Curie, James Earl Jones, Frida Kahlo, and Jackie Robinson), students will create their own worker profile using the template at the end of the packet. Students will research and write about a person of their choosing whose life or career is well-documented enough for them to complete the exercise. Students are encouraged to consider examples of both good work and compromised work from the person’s life. Students are told to keep the 3 Es (excellence, ethics, and engagement) in mind when choosing what to write regarding their worker’s biography. Students are reminded to be careful when choosing sources.
