High School Comparison:
This section needs to show that I have researched at least two high schools by my 8th grade year. I will need to show that I have researched at least ten specific criteria that are important to me in choosing a high school. To do this, I may create a "T" chart, table or any other display method where I can show my findings for each school and how it meets my criteria. My findings should support my ultimate conclusion of which school I will attend.


College Research:



Application Process:
[All grade levels (6th, 7th and 8th) must complete this section] This section will include a description of the application process required to get into the college I have selected above. If the college I selected changes during my time in middle school, I need to modify this section.


Essay/Personal Statement:
[To be completed by all 7th and 8th grade students] This section needs a personal statement that "sells" me as the best candidate to get into my college of interest listed above.


Financial Aid (FAFSA):
[To be completed by 8th grade students only] To complete this section, I will have to complete a mock Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application in class. Then, I will explain the process for completing FAFSA requests. To do this, I will grab the image of each page from MR. Croghan's wikispace and transfer it to this section. Then I will give a short description of the sections on each page, what kind of information is asked on each, and where I needed to go to get the information.
