Due Next Week:

DUE FRIDAY. OCTOBER 3RD--LAST DAY! PEP (Personal Education Plan): email an attachment of the .pdf file to me when you finish.
DUE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH: OSU short Essays (Insight Resume)

PEP Time!

We need one more day for a lot of us to get done with our PEP-- so we will be on computers tomorrow in the D-wing. When you get your pep done, you will have time to do a practice test OR do a college/ scholarship search-- I will have a form for you to fill out with your top three college choices and why you are considering them.
PS-- I still need four corrected essay responses from the OSU Insight Resume from most of you-- by Thursday, latest!

Science ACT Help

I found a glossary of terms for the ACT science section, and I will have those who are taking the test form groups to make some flashcards online for you to study with. Here is the list:

How to Set Goals for the SAT/ACT

Here is a great article that talks about what kinds of scores might be considered "good" on the college entrance exams. We will read it in class next week and write a short reaction piece.
What is a Good Score on the SAT?
What is going to happen in AVID class this year?
I made a list of your best/worst things about AVID as well as your goals for the year. I think this is a good starting place for a discussion of how we will run the class this year and how we can make it better-- to get through it smoothly and make it memorable-- just like you wanted!
