A super lesson that integrates technology and career exploration! High schoolers use graphic organizers and brainstorming to first analyze Time Magazine covers, then they think about what they want to be doing in 10 years. They research careers, formulate goals, and then use digital cameras and the computer to make a mock Time Magazine cover describing their personal accomplishments. Neat idea!
