College Project-Phase 2

It's official! All of the students have completed Phase 1 of the college projects. 

We have mailed off everyone's letters and now we are waiting on the responses (packages) from the colleges. Kamayah was the first student to receive a package from Tennessee Tech University. They sent her stickers and a lot of information which will be used for Phase 2.


The students and I have begun Phase 2, by exploring the genre of "Feature Articles." As we continue to dig deeper in our genre study and receive packages from the colleges, the students will begin the steps of Phase 2.


***None of the students have received any of the information for Phase 2, except for the introduction to feature articles. I just wanted to give the parents of room 318, all of the information ahead of time, so that you are informed.

The following 2 steps are needed to complete Phase 2 of the College Project:

Phase 2

1. Compare the information about the three colleges with assigned criteria on the Facts and Figures sheet.
2. Write a feature article comparing two colleges and picking the best one. (out of the 3 colleges that they sent letters to)
• This will be written mostly in class, however information on how to access it on Google Docs will be forth coming.
