What you need to do:
1. Write a letter to your parents (or guardian, or parent figure that you talk to about college) in which you do the following things:
| Describe the Pathways events that you attended during the semester as part of this class. As a part of your description, explain what the event was about, or what the point was. |
| Say what you gained from participating in these events (if anything). |
| Maybe say something about how these events did or did not contribute to your overall education this term. |
(You will be graded on the basis of whether you can write a thoughtful report, not on the basis of whether you say nice things about the program.)
Turn in two copies of your letter. One will be mailed.
2. Attach a separate piece of paper on which you give the name and address of the person(s) to whom you want your letter to be sent. (It will actually be sent after you have been given credit for writing it.)
