Grade 11, Education After High School 2: Choosing a College Major OVERVIEW ........................................................................................... In this lesson, students begin by reflecting on their expectations for college. Then they discuss college requirements and identify courses they would choose to fulfill those requirements. Next, they discuss college majors and review a list of common questions about college majors. Using CollegeInColorado.org, they identify recommended majors for a career of interest and find schools in their states that offer each major. Finally, they explore one of the majors they identi- fied and list some of the typical courses within that major. PREPARATION .................................................................................... ❑ Make arrangements for the class to use the computer lab, and make sure CollegeInColo- rado.org, or a similar website, is accessible from students’ computers. (Note: Both www. petersons.com and www.collegeboard.com have college selector tools that include “college major” among their search criteria.) ❑ List the day’s BIG IDEA and activities on the board. ❑ Write the day’s vocabulary word and definition on the board. ❑ The following handouts need to be made into overhead transparencies or copied onto chart paper: • Student Handbook page 126, Sample College Requirements • Student Handbook page 128, Possible Majors and Schools • Portfolio page 1, Interest Profiler and Basic Skills Survey Results ❑ Write the following web addresses on the board, chart paper or overhead projector: • http://www.colorado.edu/ArtsSciences/students/undergraduate/core.html • www.collegeincolorado.org (be sure that students have access to their own username and password) • www.collegeboard.com/csearch/majors_careers/profiles/ VOCABULARY .....................................................................................
