Focusing on the occupational clusters of clerical, business, sales and trades, and manufacturing, this unit entitled "Manufacturing" is one of four grade 5 units which are part of a total set of twenty-seven career development curriculum units for grades K-6. This unit is organized into four sections. Section 1 identifies one career development-centered curriculum (CDCC) element (life-role understanding), four career development themes (e.g., understanding the characteristics of life-roles and their functions), five unit goals (e.g., become familiar with characteristics of jobs within the manufacturing industry), and five performance objectives (e.g., given a list of ten occupations with a choice of three characteristics after each, identify the one characteristic that best describes each occupation). Also included in Section I are evaluation procedures (pre- and post-assessment and evaluation tabulation forms) for the unit. Section II describes teaching strategies for three unit subtopics (capsules) and includes suggested resources for teaching each one. Capsule topics include setting up a mock factory and culminating activities. Section III contains five reference sheets and section IV contains thirty-one activity sheets. (CT)
