Sophomore English students will be taking a bit of a hiatus from the standard English 10 curriculum this week. Students will be focused solely on completing their Educational Development Plan (EDP). Much of the assignment can be (and will be) completed in the computer lab throughout the week. However, the creative aspect of the project (creating a 10-year "lifeline") is something students must work on at home. There are many different options as to how students will present their lifeline and many examples were shown in class.
This assignment is worth 100 points and will have a huge impact on a student's 3rd quarter grade.
The "lifeline" portion of the assignment is worth 40 points and will be entered in my gradebook under "Assignments."
The three-paragraph Journal/Refelction Essay is worth 60 points and will be entered in my gradebook under "Writing."
NOTE: Students were given a rubric with specific requirements for each part of the assignment.
We (Mrs. Arteaga and I) encourage all parents to discuss this assignment with your son/daughter. The EDP is designed to help your child develop the skills to research colleges and a potential career they may be interested in pursuing, as well as developing a strategic plan that will prepare them to achieve their academic and career-oriented goals.
