College Powerpoints

College Powerpoints


Part of the focus of AVID is College Awareness. In order to expose the AVID students to the many colleges here in Texas, the 8th grade students each created a PowerPoint presentation of a particular school. A "lottery" style selection process was used to ensure a variety of schools were chosen. Students were given four days to research their school and put together their presentation. Over the coming weeks, each student will present their slide show to the class. Requirements for the PowerPoint included:
  • no more than 10 slides
  • basic facts including name, location, colors, mascot, year founded, current enrollment, tuition and room/board costs, the percentage of students from the top 10% of their high school class, and any notable alumni
  • three other facts the student found interesting
  • at least three pictures of the campus, logo, or activities
