Periodicals

Background I decided to direct this project toward a high school of 500 students because that was my most recent experience, although my school was much larger. Luckily at my school, for the most part, students work hard at school. They want good grades and most students are willing to work for those. Test scores are among the highest in the state. Most of the students are middle to upper class, but there are a few students that have a lower socio-economic status. While the majority of the students are white, there are still quite a few minority students and that number continues to grow most years.

I would have liked to subscribe to a professional magazine that was strictly directed toward science and/or math, but I could not find any magazines that had a good recommendation in relation to these subjects.

Magazines:

While I wanted to get more educationally driven magazines, I did not think they would get read as much as the magazines I chose would. I know some of the magazines I subscribed to for this project were magazines that I enjoyed in school.
