Career Choice Awareness: Biographies uses the study of a writing genre to focus students on discovering who they are, the strengths they possess, and how they can build on their aptitudes when making initial decisions about careers. Students have multiple opportunities to practise their reading, writing, and oral communication skills, to refine their thinking and problem-solving abilities, and to make connections with the broader community.
