Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Making college matter" by Leo M. Lambert and Peter Felten.
In the informational text "Making college matter" Leo M. Lambert and Peter Felten discuss how students can make the most of their time in college.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Community, Education & Knowledge, and Fate & Free Will as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
