Description
Calling all high school AVID, Advisory, and college and career readiness teachers and counselors! Need help preparing your students for the college application and admission process?
Save yourself time with these engaging NO-PREP Google Slides lessons, activities, worksheets, projects, and checklists that cover all the essential steps of college planning and budgeting!
⭐️ From college awareness to research, applications, writing the college essay/personal statement, paying for college, and writing scholarship essays, this bundle has everything you need to help your students be college-ready!
⭐️ Each Google Slides resource is a COMPLETE LESSON in one slide deck (similar to a Hyperdoc, which takes students through the learning cycle in one doc or slide deck using hyperlinks and other media). These products are perfect for using as differentiated, self-paced student-centered lessons or whole-class teacher-paced presentations!
⭐️ You save 20% when you buy this bundle instead of purchasing each product separately.
FREE BONUS FILE: Socratic Seminar Lesson Plan included FREE when you purchase this bundle!
⭐️ I highly recommend using my Socratic Seminar Lesson Plan (included free). If you do a Socratic Seminar with at least two of the topics (ideas included), assign 3-4 readings with each topic, and follow up (extend/elaborate) with the extension assignments, this entire bundle gives you ENOUGH MATERIAL FOR AT LEAST ONE SEMESTER!
⭐️ Includes a senior-year college-readiness checklist and FREE ready-to-print poster!

WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING:
"This is the best TpT purchase I have ever made! Beautifully done and ready to use, perfect for Google Classroom and distance learning. Highly, highly recommend." Extremely satisfied ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⭐️ You can use these slide decks/presentations in face-to-face instruction OR virtual/distance, flipped, or blended learning. Each product could also be used with advanced 7th or 8th-grade classes, such as an AVID class. The most ideal grade level to use these lessons with is 9th, 10th, or 11th grade to help students get an early start on college planning; however, you could use these lessons with 12th graders or in an adult education class also, as it's never too late to think about going to college!
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Each of the products comes as a PDF document with instructions, a lesson plan, suggestions for use, and a link to a force copy of the interactive Google Slides presentation. There are questions at the beginning of each presentation to activate students’ prior knowledge and questions at the end to stimulate critical thinking. And as mentioned above, there are also links to articles and videos embedded in each presentation, which students may click to learn more about each topic. A fun Philosophical Chairs and college terms word search activity and "How to Choose a College Worksheets" are also included! The digital worksheets take students through 10 steps to help them decide what they want in a college and then build, sort, and rank a list of six colleges.
Each lesson has:
-Explicit instruction
-21st-century skills
-Multi-modalities
-Hands-on learning
-Differentiation
-Scaffolding
-Higher-level thinking
-Real-life connection
-Student choice
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE:
1. Present the slides in a face-to-face lecture OR through a video conference lecture by sharing your screen. To make your presentation more interactive and engaging (and less of a teacher-centered lecture), be sure to have students answer the questions and share their answers at the beginning and end of the presentation, stop to check comprehension, use peer teaching, and clarify or explain anything as needed.
2. OR, you can just send the slides to your students by email or Google Classroom to work on independently or in small groups and type their answers on the slides, a Google Form, or a separate document -- whichever you prefer (make sure you make a copy for each student).
3. Do some kind of combination of #1 and 2. For example, use the slides to present to the whole class and review the lesson, and then send the slides to students and allow them to work independently. You may also want to present to only part of the class, work one-on-one with some students, and let others work independently. You know your students and their needs best!
4. Follow the lesson plan and see the extra ideas given in the product directions.
⭐️ The best part is these are interactive presentations! e.g., Students can type their responses to the given questions directly on the slides (text boxes are already there) and get more information by clicking hyperlinks. You can also add your own links to a Google Form, Jamboard, Padlet, or another platform, or add PearDeck slides where students can share their answers.
⭐️ There is almost no prep needed to present the slides unless you decide to extend the lesson or add links/slides, but I have some ideas included to make it easy for you!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
*EACH OF THESE PRODUCTS (slide decks/presentations) IS ALSO SOLD SEPARATELY!
*You do NOT have to allow access to your Google Drive for any of these products.
*While the slide decks have a lot of slides, they are easy to read and get through because each slide is visually stimulating and limited to one idea, and questions and places for answers are included in each slide deck (title, questions, and closing page are included in page count).
*The slides will open in Google Slides, but you could also download each presentation to PowerPoint without losing any of the formatting.
*Great for helping any students with college awareness and planning.
*The time it takes for each slide show will vary depending on how much discussion and other activities you include. You can get through one slide show in 30-45 minutes if you just lecture or you can make it more interactive and spend a few days on each, which I would suggest if it fits into your schedule.
⭐️ I have put a lot of time into creating this product and hope you find it useful. If you have any questions, find any errors, or have suggestions, please email me directly so I can help you and improve this resource.
