THE GET A LIFE PROJECT is one I developed for our 8th graders, but it can be used in high school too. It is a series of short research projects designed to prepare students after high school to make some major life choices: COLLEGE, A JOB, A HOUSE OR APARTMENT, A CAR, FURNISHINGS AND A BUDGET, AND A VACATION.
Students learn how to make these decisions based on their interests, abilities, and budget. They use popular web sites such as collegeboard.com, careerbuilder.com, cars.com, mlsonline.co
