High School Survival Kit Project SpecificationsAIM:To enable the students to have a successful high school experience by providing a Web based resource. RATIONALE:The transition from middle school to high school is difficult. To adjust to high school life, many students need additional resources. This project offers a module of activities for students to practice skills and strategies that will facilitate academic achievement. A Web based resource is current and up-to-date, provides accesss to a large variety of materials and activiities, and affords the opportunity to individualize exercises to meet the needs of each student.AUDIENCE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL SURVIVAL KIT MODULE:This module is designed for use by students in the early stages of high school. However, the resources it includes are broad enough to be useful to high school students of any age and of any academic ability level.High school teachers of any content area are also an audience for this module. Teachers may choose among its components, and use them as a supplement to their regular classroom instruction.Prerequisite Skills for This ModuleThe authors of this module assume that the student has basic computer skills and is familiar with browsing a web site. We assume that the student knows to click on images and recognizes that these images are representative of pages and/or concepts of the module. We assume that the student recognizes that blue text is linked text, that purple text indicates he has already visited that page, that he can move back and forth between pages of the site, and that the Home Page is simply like a cover of a book. If the student understands this format, he can use this module with no problems.OBJECTIVESInstructional PlanThe High School Survival kit consists of six sections. The sections are not content specific and can be used independently and in any order. |
