Considering a college search project? After picking a possible career choice, and determining if that career needs a technical college or university education, individuals examine a wide variety of sources and select three schools that offer preparation for this career. Considering school demographics, reputation of training in career field, and cost, pupils craft a persuasive essay to an anonymous donor persuading the donor to pay for their education at this university. Writers must include the rationale for choosing the school, why the school is good, and why the learner’s education should be funded. Finally, groups prepare a PowerPoint about a university of their choice. Although designed for the colleges and universities in Louisiana, the concepts can be applied to any state.
