Melrose High School Algebra 2
your final Algebra 2 Assignment!
Your final assignment for Algebra 2 is a research project about your future. As you come closer and closer to your high school graduation, the time is also drawing near for you to make some pivotal choices: what does your dream future hold? What is your plan to make those dreams come true?
Many will choose to go to college. Others will enroll in a trade school and become skilled craftsmen. Still others may explore other opportunities. The choice belongs to you and no one else, and this project is designed to be an opportunity for you to reflect on your personality, skills, dreams, and life goals, and to make a plan that will take you to the kind of life you envision for yourself. This is about making a plan to enable your dreams to become reality.
The final product will be a 3-5 page written paper (Times New Roman, 12 point font, 1" margins, double spaced) that will count as your Semester Exam Grade for the 2nd Semester, and will be a clear roadmap to the life you hope to live after your time at Melrose.
