Time to share!
If you could get paid for one of your interests, what would it be?

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:

What are some things you enjoy doing?
How do you think your interests may change as you grow older?
What do your interests say about you?
How do your interests influence your options now and in the future? For example, have you joined a club based on one of your interests, or what jobs are you thinking about that are related to your interests?
If you could get paid for one of your interests, what would it be?

Classroom discussion strategy: Lead a round robin style discussion that gets each person to share their answer to the following inquiry prompt: If you could get paid for one of your interests, what would it be?

OPTIONAL: Document the responses. What observations can be drawn about the responses? What conclusions can be made about interests?
