Institute for Student Achievement
Advisory College Unit ProjectFor the culminating project in advisory during this unit, we will create a College Fair for the entire 9th grade. We will work in small groups to research a specific college and design a college “booth” to educate other students about your college. During the day of the College Fair, students will take turns “manning” the booth and walking around to learn about all the other colleges. We anticipate that our College Fair will have booths representing about 30 different colleges and universities.The College Fair BoothEach booth must have the following two components:Large Visual: A booth wants to capture the attention of students by having appealing images and clear information. A poster, tri-fold, or banner are the most common ways that college booths achieve this.Take-Away Materials: Colleges like to provide materials that students can take with them if they are interested in learning more about the college. Brochures, bookmarks, and one-pagers are popular items that colleges provide to students at college fairs.Choosing a CollegeYour advisory teacher will assign each group a type of college, and you will be allowed to select any college within this “type”. Advisors will make sure that groups in different advisories do not have the same college. Examples of college “types” include: Public State (SUNY), Public City (CUNY), Private Home, Private Away, Public Out-of-State, Arts-Specialized School, Community College.ProcedureStep 1: Research your college and take notes.Step 2: Create Poster and Brochure (or other materials).Step 3: Create “talking points” for College Fair booth.
