New Job Lessons

Students read a story about Jordan’s first day working at a community center and how he learns to adjust his behavior to be professional. After reading, they answer multiple-choice questions that test comprehension, inferencing, and understanding of how workplace expectations differ from casual social behavior. The story models respectful communication, tone adjustment, and problem-solving when unexpected challenges arise. By analyzing Jordan’s choices, students practice identifying appropriate conduct for a job setting and learn how context influences the way people speak and act. This worksheet helps build reading comprehension while reinforcing real-world behavioral expectations.
