The document discusses an activity where students are divided into groups to research and present on different colleges and universities in Kentucky. Each group is assigned a different school and must research requirements, costs, majors, and reasons someone may want to attend that school. The groups will then present their findings to their classmates. The goal is for students to become experts on their assigned school.

4. College Experts
• We have spent the last several sessions exploring college options. Today
you will become an expert on a school.

DUPLICATE A SCHOOL):

information.
