Part 1: DO NOW (Write Before You Speak)

Prompt: Look at your Google Slides research and cost spreadsheets from last week.


What is the most crucial piece of data that a 9th or 10th grader needs to see on a flyer to understand that college costs are not the same for everyone?

Protocol:

  • Step 1: Write your answer silently and independently on the lines below for 2 minutes.

  • Step 2: Partner A reads their written answer to Partner B.

  • Step 3: Partner B reads their written answer to Partner A.

  • Step 4: Whole Class Share-Out. (Be prepared: If called upon, you will share your partner's answer with the class, not your own!)


Part 2: Canva Flyer Design Checklist

Your flyer will be printed and posted on the school community bulletin board to educate younger students. Ensure your final Canva text is clear, highly visible, and written at a scannable 9th-grade reading level.

  • Component 1: Institution Name is clearly visible at the top of the flyer.

  • Component 2: Admitted Student Profile displaying the average SAT / ACT / GPA from 2025 admitted students at the college.

  • Component 3: Quantitative Data Matrix displaying the Net Price Calculator outcomes for all three household income levels ($100k, $80k, and $67k).

  • Component 4: Total cost of attendance for 4 years, alongside any scholarships or merit aid available at the institution.


Content Learning Target: I can turn my college data into a clear public flyer by using my research slides to design a Canva page and reviewing my classmates' work.



Part 3: Flyer Gallery Walk Feedback (10-Minute Parallel Scaffold)

Directions: Walk silently around the room to view your classmates' finished Canva flyers. You must comment at least three different student laptops (they should not already have 3 comments from other students). For each flyer, read the data and write down one specific question on a post-it note to leave at their station. Record your questions on this handout.


Examples of Questions (Use this to build your post-it notes):

  • DOK 2 (Data Check): Ask about data trends, plateaus, or a comparison between their 2025 test score averages and other schools in that tier.

  • DOK 3 (Feasibility Critique): Ask about the financial risks of a 4-year cost of attendance for a specific income bracket, or how the school balances merit vs. need-based aid.

  • DOK 4 (Systemic Connection): Ask how this university's financial aid and testing profiles reflect wider nationwide issues like socioeconomic barriers or the rising cost of higher education.

Flyer 1:

  • School Name: _______________________ Designer's Name: _______________________

  • My Question (DOK Level ____): __________________________________________________

Flyer 2:

  • School Name: _______________________ Designer's Name: _______________________

  • My Question (DOK Level ____): __________________________________________________

Flyer 3:

  • School Name: _______________________ Designer's Name: _______________________

  • My Question (DOK Level ____): __________________________________________________


Part 4: EXIT TICKET (Comprehensive Project Rubric Weighting Ballot)

Directions: You are co-creating the final grading weights for our entire project. Review the specific scale descriptions below for each category. In the right-hand column, assign a percentage weight to that category. Crucial Rule: The total of all four categories must add up to exactly 100%!


Criteria Category

Exceeding 

(Grade A)

Meeting 

(Grade B)

Developing 

(Grade C)

My Weight Choice

1. Google Slides Data Synthesis

All 3 income brackets ($100k, $80k, $67k) are perfectly calculated with no errors on the research slides.

All 3 income brackets are calculated, but there is 1 minor data entry or spreadsheet error.

One or more income brackets are missing from the spreadsheet or have major calculation errors.

________ %

2. Admitted Student Profile

The average SAT and ACT scores for 2025 admitted students are clearly featured and accurately highlighted on the flyer.

The 2025 SAT or ACT scores are displayed, but one testing metric is missing, unclear, or unlabelled.

Testing data is completely missing from the flyer, or the metrics used are incorrect.

________ %

3. Public Scannability

Flyer is clean, formatted as a single page, and underclassmen can read all key data points in under 30 seconds.

Flyer is a single page but slightly crowded; layout design takes longer than 30 seconds to interpret clearly.

Flyer layout is messy, disorganized, difficult to read, or spans across multiple pages.

________ %

4. Long-Term Cost & Merit Aid

Total 4-year cost of attendance is perfectly displayed alongside explicit details on available merit scholarships.

Total 4-year cost is present, but information regarding scholarships or merit aid is vague or incomplete.

The 4-year cost calculations are entirely missing, or scholarship options are not identified.

________ %

Exit Ticket:

Review the specific scale descriptions below for each category. In the right-hand column, assign a percentage weight to that category. Crucial Rule: The total of all four categories must add up to exactly 100%!


Written Justification: 

Look at the category where you assigned the highest percentage weight in the matrix box above. Write 2 complete sentences explaining why you believe that specific category is the most critical component when evaluating this entire project.
