Mini Project 1

This is what people expect from you before college.

You start preparing for the future as soon as you're born. some parents even start planning before.

Throughout your school years you learn about college and your teachers prepare you for it.

Once you get to the highschool it's crunch time. You start taking your SAT and start applying to colleges.

Although your school years probably influence you the most about college readiness; friends, family, and the media definitely play a big role too.

Forest View Class

                Last week in English we met with the classes at Forest View High school. I sat in a group of two college kids, including myself, and four of the highschoolers. We started off the class with a picture made by the four highschoolers and it had what the thought and expected from college. The described everyone’s point of view. We then made another picture and we included our college perspective. Our picture had a collage of all the things that we thought influenced us as students. My favorite part of the class was the very end when we did the interviews. It was really interesting hearing all of their questions and remembering when I was in their shoes last year. I remember being so curious about what to expect and that’s exactly what they were asking. I’m really glad that now I get to put a name to my letter that I will be sending to their class.

Phrases

                So in class the other day, Lacy had us go outside of the classroom and find two sayings or groupings of words that were posted somewhere around the building. At first I was having a really difficult time trying to figure out what exactly she wanted. I ended up finding the two that I wanted, “Get connected and stay connected” and “You’re cordially invited to”. Once we got back into the classroom we were to write the two phrases on the board. She then told us to make up a poem out of all the different phrases on the board. She gave us her example, but that didn’t seem to help much. I’m not much of a poem writer.
