Problem and Solution
Problem and Solution
Youth need to be better equipped to enter the adult world, especially youth with disabilities. Often, youth with disabilities lack experience in preparing for a job interview. This activity is designed to provide a model interview with a mentor as a guide. This activity encourages self-reflection and lets the participant practice answering difficult interview questions. This activity could be done independently or as part of a class. The participant's text responses are collected in one spot and can be printed to be used as part of a group discussion.
Script Writing
Script Writing
Sam's Interview Script.docxThe script took the form of typical interview questions. Originally, this activity had an assessment at the end of the interview; however, I decided to add a mentor to provide guidance throughout the interview process. The mentor also explains the finer points of interviewing and makes this activity interactive by asking self-reflective questions. This iteration increases engagement and learning inpact.
Design
Design
I selected a bold color pallet for my target audience. I also wanted to select a character that represents the youth population as well as typical adult characters. Based on limited voice options, I chose characters that seemed to match the voice-over as well.

Development
With the changes that were made to this project, it was necessary to add some information so that if educators were using this activity in class, they would know the goal and objectives of the activity. I added the Activity Information page and, of course, I added all the mentor pages with the interactive self-reflections as shown above.
