hhhheeeeeeeelllllllpppppppp?

Question

Hey, I'm 13 and I'm writing a book. The set-up is a trio of kids on career day. Then a mysterious woman gathers them close and says they have to come and learn from her; they have to, or the world will be destroyed. Then she takes them to another planet and they save the world. I won't get into details. But there is one niggling detail that comes up more than once in my story and I really need to know...
What non-core subjects are there and what subject has a career day or what is career day exactly? You see I'm homeschooled, so I wouldn't really know. Please help. And any other details about school (jr. High) you could offer would help alot. You know, like about cliques, how people act, what teachers are like, how classes are set up, you know the, the whole nine yards. Thanks!

What subject is career day in? Or is it in a subject? And do you go to class at all that day? I don't mean the type of career day where ppl stand up a talk about their jobs I mean liek there are tables put up and you read about each job then figure out who you want to learn from that day

I know my book is far fetched, but hey, it's fantasy, it's not like wrinkle in time got turned down; it's a hit and has been for years. It has won awards.

Answer 1

carrer day is ineresting i mean most of the time you don't end up being what you want to be because you are young cliques you've
got your preps, punks, jocks, nerds, geeks, goths, hots, nots, and recently added emo's let me keep going, outkasts, cheerleaders, band geeks, normals, art freaks, populars... well jr high is an ineresting place

Answer 2

Career day has nothing to do with a specific subject. It's the entire school that participates in career day. Not a class or subject or period. Usually during lunchtime, a bunch of booths will be set up and each booth will have a a job recruiter at it (the Army, for example, will have a table there). Yes, you do go to all your classes that day. As for the book you are writing, from the sounds of it, it's one heck of a far-fetched book. I think you might want to write something that is more in the normal range and less Harry Potter mixed with Star Trek. Try writing simple novels that everyone can understand, then breach out into the more wild ideas once you have a decade or so experience in writing novels. Note how Steven King's first books weren't too far-fetched even though they were in the realm of scifi/horror. Read Steven King's The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, or Firestarter. You Should also read Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Shadow" and "Ender's Game". These books will provide you with much insight on what a good first book should be like.

Answer 3

Well where I live career day was a 3 hour field trip that about 180 of the 400 or so sophomores got to go on, you had to get a paper signed and stuff by your parents, and highschool in general, you have to incorperate a lot of immature people trying to act mature, but are really just acting immature.
Good luck.

Answer 4

Career day is when people of different jobs comes and talks to you about their job...so that you have an idea of what you want to do when you get older...another thing about school is the DRAMA...people talk about others all of the time...start rumors...so on...i suggest that you includ that in you story.
