High School Comparison: This section needs to show that I have researched at least two high schools by my 8th grade year. I will need to show that I have researched at least ten specific criteria that are important to me in choosing a high school. To do this, I may create a "T" chart, table or any other display method where I can show my findings for each school and how it meets my criteria. My findings should support my ultimate conclusion of which school I will attend.







College Research: This section needs to be completed based on grade level.

Application Process

There lots of things you need to know before you apply for a college.
One is our parents income each year. Another thing we need to know is Extra Curricular activities.
Also the grades you have. You also need to know about a topic you want to write about for
the essay that is required for the application these are some of the things you need to know before
you fill out an application for a college.



Essay/Personal Statement: [To be completed by all 7th and 8th grade students] This section needs a personal statement that "sells" me as the best candidate to get into my college of interest listed above.
Remember, this essay is hard to do, but it is also super important. A good way to handle writing this is to come up with a powerful adjective that describes you (this adjective is the theme). Then, draft your essay in four parts:
1) Start with a story or quote that links to your theme
2) Explain one event in your life that shows how you have developed a strong ability in your personal adjective.
3) Describe ways that you are your adjective. Give three specific examples and explain how each relates to the theme.
4) Sum up your argument, and insist how your amazing abilities that come from your adjective make the best candidate.


Financial Aid (FAFSA): [To be completed by 8th grade students only] To complete this section, I will have to complete a mock Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application in class. Then, I will explain the process for completing FAFSA requests. To do this, I will grab the image of each page from MR. Croghan's CFES Elective page and transfer it to this section. Then I will give a short description of the sections on each page, what kind of information is asked on each, and where I needed to go to get the information.
