Composition: Write a Resumé

 We worked on writing résumés for college.  We used templates from Google Docs.  Here is the sample I used from the University of Virginia.  The kids added their skills and interests.  Most of the class has participated in Work Camps through their youth groups.  The youth groups have tool trainings, build and raffle furniture, and participate in huge Work Camps, that help families in need with repairs.  The teens can replace a window, build a ramp, paint walls, or repair a deck.  The kids have a wide variety of skills: piano, animal husbandry, speech, karate, choir, care-giving, cooking, etc.  I share my resume with the kids.  Next we are working on cover letters.  A college résumé and cover letter with the college application can distinguish a student from other applicants.
