At the end of the lesson, have students revisit and share their answers to the inquiry prompts you posed at the beginning of class. Inquiry prompt examples:

Why is it a good idea to keep an open mind about careers you don't know much about yet?
How could you explore a career you've just heard of to see if you'd like it?
Do you think it's okay to cross a career off your list even if it scores high for you on Matchmaker?
Why is it important to think critically about any assessment results you get?

Classroom discussion strategy: Encourage students to notice how at least one of their thoughts about career matches has changed from before completing the Xello lesson to after. Ask: What is a thought you had about a career match before the Xello lesson? What do you think about this career match now? Did the way you think about it change? What caused this change in thinking?
