Suggestions for Honors Classes:
 Students create a personal budget based on the career path and city they choose. Students will research
the jobs available in the target city and will research standard salaries/ costs of living there. Personal
budgets could be presented in PPT, Excel, or other media.
 Students read a biography of someone they study during the course and present what is learned (John
Locke, James Madison, John Adams, a former president, etc).
 Students participate in a Socratic Seminar or Shared Inquiry Discussion on text related to the course.
