Common Core Standards: RH1&WH2 The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has begun to increased rigor with the recent institution of the Common Core Standards, which has an ultimate outcome of college and career ready graduates. The Common Core Standards are, as the DOE states, to introduce increased rigor and relevancy so that all high school graduates are college and career ready. Researching a verity of Colleges may give middle school students the opportunity to learn about possible majors and careers. By researching potential colleges may help make the potentially faroff and faraway idea of college a reality by providing students with the inspiration and tools to reach the goal of continued education after high school. In order to learn a more about college students will create an informational card to display important information on a college of their choice. The card should be larger enough to fit the required information. The front of the card should be a drawing or printed picture of the Institution you chose which clearly identifies the institution as well as its name. On the back of the card include: Name of the Institution Year it was founded Location Your Potential Major Brief history of the Institution Why would you consider going to this Institution Campus Life Fun Fact about the Institution http://info.cunyba.gc.cuny.edu/learn-the-benefits-of-cunys-individualizeddegree/?gclid=CN_Vot2o_7YCFc47Ogod1U4A7Q https://www.suny.edu/student/campuses_complete_list.cfm http://collegeapps.about.com/od/collegerankings/tp/Top-Universities.htm http://collegestats.org/

Sample

History: With more than 60,000 alumni and 12,000 students, Lehman College serves the
Bronx and our surrounding region as an intellectual, economic, and cultural center. The College is named after Herbert H. Lehman, who was governor of New York State, a U.S. Senator, and an internationalist. His values of dedicated public service continue to guide the College today. Lehman College was established as an independent unit of The City University of New York on July 1, 1968, following a decision by the University's Board of Trustees to create a comprehensive senior college in the Bronx with its own faculty, curriculum, and administration. The College took over the campus that, since 1931, had served as the Bronx branch of Hunter College, known as Hunter-in-the-Bronx. Adjacent to the historic Jerome Park Reservoir, the first four buildings in the plan-Gillet and Davis halls, the Music Building, and the Gymnasium-were completed in 1931 by the New York State WPA. The original campus plan called for nine buildings, but the Great Depression delayed construction, and the ambitious plan was later abandoned by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia.

Why Go: Lehman College is an affordable institution, along with a scholarship I will be able
to pay my own way through college and not take out any loans or accumulate any debt as a young adult. It is New York based and close to my family and friends. Lehman College has an excellent history departments with published historians. At Lehman I could also minor in education and get my state certification in middle and high school education.
