Daily Learning Contract
- Topic: Applications and References
- Objective: Students will complete a sample job application and explain protocol for selecting and using references by using supplied fictional information and asking permission before sharing.
- TEKS: d(7)(C), d(7)(D)
- Demonstration of Learning: Four-page fictional application, reference-role plan, unsent permission request, and privacy audit.
Before Class
Post the private Student Annotation and four-page packet. Students use Jordan Rivera from start to finish. Do not collect, display, or ask students to destroy real application or reference data.
50-Minute Flow
- Bellringer - 5 min. Sort four fields into “use supplied fact,” “use N/A,” or “do not provide in this simulation.”
- Application model - 7 min. Read directions first, use a specific target, complete applicable fields, keep evidence consistent, and use N/A only when a field does not apply.
- Chunked application - 18 min. Complete target and education, then experience, skills, and fictional availability. Pause after each section for an active-monitoring check.
- Reference protocol - 8 min. Select roles that observed the relevant work. Separate teacher, activity sponsor, and adult supervisor evidence.
- Permission draft and audit - 7 min. Draft but do not send the request. Ask before sharing any contact route.
- Exit - 5 min. Explain how permission protects the applicant, reference, and employer.
Monitor, Key, and Trim Point
Full evidence uses only supplied facts, completes applicable fields or N/A, matches the cover letter, selects reference roles with firsthand evidence, and asks permission before sharing. No student enters a real name, contact route, availability, ID, signature, health, family, or immigration information. Trim optional comparison before the consistency/privacy audit.
Supports and Access
Keep applicable/aplicable, N/A/no aplica, consistent/coherente, reference/referencia, and permission/permiso beside the form. Use the frame: “I chose the [role] because that person observed Jordan [action].” Short fields receive short spaces; evidence and rationale fields receive multiple lines. Accept typing, annotation, dictation, enlarged print, or paper.
