College Research Project • The Process • Sophomores use collegeboard.org to narrow almost 4,000 colleges to a short list. • To get to that short list, students select criteria such as location, size of the college, type of college, major area of study, etc. • From that list, students choose three colleges to research. Students find required information and fill in a chart that compares the three colleges. • Information for the chart comes from collegeboard.org or the college’s website.
College Research Project • The Product • Students write a letter to their parents (persuasive essay) explaining why they want to attend one of the three colleges. • Specific details about two of the colleges must appear in the letter. • Parenthetical documentation • A annotated works cited page is required.

Most Significant People of the Progressive Era • Task 2 • Students divide into smaller groups based on broad categories such as businessmen, reformers, inventors, etc. • Each small group chooses the most significant person from that group. • Each group presents their finalist to the class. Time is allowed for debate, so all the groups must research the short list of significant people. • An outside judge (librarian or administrator) usually watches the presentations and based on the thoroughness of the debate, chooses the most significant person from each class.
