FINAL TEENBIZ CONTEST FOR THE YEAR
It's proven that the more students use TeenBiz, the more their reading skills improve. At the Exit to Excellence, you'll find a world of opportunity before you.
Students have already been enrolled in Exit to Excellence. Each student needs to complete at least eight multiple choice news activities from Monday, March 1st, until Saturday, April 10th. (These are the activities that come after the article of the day - part of step 3. Each activity has eight questions.)
To be sure every student puts forth their very best efforts, we're giving out extra points for high scores. Every time a student does an activity, their class earns a point. Every time the score's above 75%, the class earns two points. And every time the score's above 85%, the class earns three points! The class with the most points (on average, per student) wins a Party-in-a-Package, delivered to your school about 3 weeks after the contest is over.
Click here to read more about the contest. High scores on Achieve3000 will give students the drive to take on the world!
