College Fair Activity
A college fair is a great way for you to receive information about colleges you are interested in attending. At each of these college fairs there will be a number of colleges available for you to visit with and collect information from. This is a great opportunity to investigate your future education choices. Knowing that this is a great opportunity, I’m offering an incentive for your attendance to these college fairs. You can earn 10 extra credit points for each college fair you attend. For you to receive your extra credit you need to complete the following four requirements:
Attend the College Fair
Bring in three flyers/business cards from colleges at the fair
Complete at least 5 reflection questions (Complete sentences)
