Time to share!
What do you need to do now if you want to go to university?

At the end of the lesson, have students revisit and share their answers to the inquiry prompts you posed at the beginning of class. Inquiry prompt examples:

What's most important to you in a university?
What do you need to do now if you want to go to university?
What does an ideal university look like to you? (What does it have that you love? What's a deal-breaker for you in a school?)
When talking about your university options, whose opinion do you trust the most? Why?

Classroom discussion strategy: Lead a round robin style discussion that gets each person to share their answer to the following inquiry prompt: What do you need to do now if you want to go to university?

OPTIONAL: Document the responses. Ask students to reflect on and share their observations about them. Encourage students to make connections, and notice themes, similarities, or differences about what they and their classmates believe they need to do now if they want to go to university.
