Types of Colleges

Introduction

You’ll start applying to college next year, but before you do, you’ll need to figure out the kind of college that you would like to go to.

Task

Using the Internet, you will find out about the different kinds of colleges that there are. You’ll use that research to type a two page double-spaced essay on the two kinds of colleges that you would like to go to and explain why you would want to go there. You should also include what you hope to gain academically by attending the two kinds of colleges that you have chosen.

Process
  1. From the following choices, select three different kinds of colleges you would be interested in attending.
  • Four year college
  • Two year college
  • Community college
  • Career/Trade & Vocational School
  • After you have decided on the three different kinds of colleges you are interested in, you will conduct research and gather information on each one by using the Internet. Below are a few links that can provide you with information on these kinds of colleges:
  • After you are done researching the three different kinds of colleges you are interested in, you will compare your research on each one.
  • You will then select two kinds of colleges from the three you researched and type a two page double-spaced essay on the two kinds of colleges that you would like to go to. You should explain why you would want to go to those colleges as well as what you hope to gain academically by attending the two kinds of colleges that you have chosen.
  • You will print what you have written and then read it out loud to the class.

    Evaluation

    Your two page double-spaced essay should be well written, with grammar and punctuation correctly used.

    Conclusion

    I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the kinds of colleges that you are interested in attending.
