Description:

The last two years of high school are very stressful for students. The idea of taking the SATs and/or ACTs, applying to college, and choosing a major can be terrifying, especially if you don't know where to begin. Each student will be able to explore a different aspect of the college process (financial, academic, or application) by examining different resources. After, the students will be given time to educate their panel. This activity is a precursor for the unit: The Game of Life in which students are given the objective to write, revise, and publish a financial guidebook/brochure for young adults (age 18-25) that will prepare them for “the game of life.” 

Common Core:

RH.11-12.7: Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media in order to address a question or solve a problem.

WHST.11-12.2: Write informative/explanatory texts, including the narration of historical events, scientific procedures, or technical processes.

WHST.11-12.4: Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. 

This is a classic roleplaying game for organizations, companies and businesses facing the daily dilemma that challenges their roadmap. Is the deviation from it a golden opportunity or is a dangerous trap?
