College Readiness

Hey Guys!

As seniors, hopefully college or occupational education is at the forefront of your thoughts!  Many of you are probably still unsure of where you want to go, what you want to do after high school, and how you are going to afford it.  I’m going to borrow from Ms. Shekema Silveri  and ask you to do the following:

Read the Federal Government’s  College Preparation List
(Be sure to check the 12th Grade Checklist)

Create a post  entitled “College Readiness” by following these directions:

  1.  Log on to your blog.
  2. Click on Dashboard.
  3. Click on Posts.
  4. Click on Add New.
  5. Title your Post “College Readiness” up at the top of the page.
  6. In the blank field, write a post about the college or school you are considering attending.
  7. Create four separate  links to its 1) homepage, 2) academic degrees available, 3) tuition page, and 4) the intended program of study’s homepage. Embed these in sentences like “To visit the homepage of this college, click here.”
  8. Discuss what you’ve learned from your school’s website and the next steps you need to take in this process.
  9.  Insert and center ONE IMAGE of your chosen university/school. Put your source for the picture in parentheses under the image.
  10. Reread your writing and correct all spelling and grammar mistakes. Look for incomplete or run on sentences!
  11. IMPORTANT: You must save! To save, click either “Save as Pending” in the upper right hand corner (if you are not ready to turn in to me) OR “Publish” if you are ready to turn in!!!
