Description
Begin college planning with your students by teaching them how to get into college with this interactive Google Slides presentation/lesson that gives "10 tips for getting into the college of your choice."
⭐️ WHAT'S INCLUDED (a complete lesson that uses the 5E Learning Cycle!):
- Engage: Questions to hook students.
- Explore: Questions to activate prior knowledge.
- Explain: An explanation of how to get into college (10 tips).
- Elaborate/Extend: Five discussion questions including "Why do high school grades carry the most weight in deciding college admission?" and "How do you feel about colleges using test scores in admission decisions?"
- Evaluate: Reflection questions at the end of the presentation.
- Extra: Ideas for engaging students and extending the lesson further!
⭐️ This presentation can be used by teachers or counselors with distance learning, face-to-face instruction, OR a hybrid approach in any secondary class. You can present the lesson to the whole class or have students review it themselves in small groups! This is the perfect lesson for a high school AVID, advisory, or language arts class, or really any college and career readiness class!
⭐️ This product is a COMPLETE LESSON in one place (similar to a Hyperdoc, which takes students through the learning cycle in one doc or slide deck using hyperlinks and other media). Perfect for using as a differentiated, self-paced, student-centered lesson and/or whole class presentation!
⭐️ This lesson has it all:
- Explicit instruction: This lesson is direct and systematically chunked following a 5E lesson plan and guides students with a clear purpose/essential question, explanation, and supported practice/extension.
- 21st century skills: Students use media and technology literacy skills with this interactive Google Slides presentation and use critical thinking, collaboration, and communication with all the opportunities for discussion.
- Multi-modalities and hands-on learning: Students view and/or listen to the presentation, write and talk about their learning in “think-write-pair-shares” and discussion groups, and possibly more depending on what you assign in the extension, such as producing an essay or video to demonstrate understanding and synthesizing ideas.
- Differentiation: Depending on students’ levels, you could present to the class as a whole and/or assign students to view the slides independently or in small groups and answer the questions as you see fit.
- Scaffolding: This complete lesson comes in manageable parts, from activating prior knowledge to reflection and assessment, and can be teacher- or student-paced.
- Higher levels of questioning: The discussion questions require higher-level thinking such as analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.
- Real-life connection: The college and career-readiness topic and essential question are meaningful and relevant to students’ futures.
- Student choice: To add student choice, give students options of strategies, tools, and/or extension activities.
⭐️ The time it takes for the entire lesson will vary depending on how much time you allow for group discussions, follow-up class sharing, and extension activities. You could spend as little as 60 minutes on this lesson if that's all the time you have, or as much as one to three whole classes or more if you include the suggested extension activity and peer feedback sessions. For ESL classes, you may need more time.
Note: You can add your own notes to any of the slides.
