ASSIGNMENT – A Day in the Life: Careers in the Geosciences
Paleontologists (study fossils and historical geology)
DIRECTIONS:
Please select a single field of study that catches your interest (see above; paleontologists) and dive deeper to become acquainted with a typical job description. In other words, investigate what these people do, where they do it, and appreciate as many details as possible. Find examples of what these jobs are all about and where one might be working if engaged in this type of work.
Now comes the fun part. I want you to imagine that you are that geoscientist and write about an experience you had doing your job. This should be in your own words, so do not copy and paste a job description from somewhere else. Please have fun with this, and use your imagination.
There is really no wrong answer, as this is a “day in the life” project. Focus on what these scientists might do, see, and, think. For example, you could write about a volcanologist setting up equipment near a volcano to try and predict when it will erupt. Other examples would be watching an active eruption, sampling lava, etc. Research a few fields of study or jobs to get a good feel for the job, and then imagine YOU are on the job. Write about your experience on the job.

It’s an essay about 3 pages long. Very detailed Step 2: Using the notes you took, write an essay about what you learned while participating in the educational activity. Remember that your essay should be about what you learned. The best essays will combine material learned in class with what you learned during your extra credit activity. Write an essay that will prove to me that you really deserve an A. Don’t bother doing anything less.
Your essay must include these things:
Your name, in the top right-hand corner.?
A title, but NOT a title page.?
An introduction that explains what you did for extra credit.?
A conclusion that wraps up your report, and summarizes what your report said.?
In between your introduction and conclusion, your report should be well organized into paragraphs. It should explain what you learned, and answer “how” and “why” questions, not just what you observed.
