5-26 to 5-29

Happy three day weekend AVID! I am excited to meet with all of you on Tuesday for our class Zooms. Remember, cameras are required, and appropriate behavior is expected. If you have a conflict due to another class, email me ASAP.

At that meeting, I am running a lesson on some major changes with college expectations and admissions that will influence your applications in even three years. I am also introducing our final assignment of the year. Have your AVID notes ready to copy down the details.

Below is this week's agenda - read it thoroughly as all the details you need are listed below:

A. We are meeting as a class to go over college admissions changes, AVID's last assignment, etc.

5. College Research - Last college this year due May 27th

A. Finish College #10 in your OneNote notebook.

B. FREE/REDUCED TUITION COLLEGE - this college must be one of the tuition free colleges

offered in the United States

1. As tuition has been such a burden for students, the conversation about its removal has

been a hot topic for years. But, are free colleges worth the trade off? For this last college

this year, we will take a look at how one free/reduced tuition college stacks up against the

others you have researched.

2. For a list of such colleges, see the following article from Forbes:

the home page.

Mrs. Sidella
