GIVE CLEAR
AND DETAILED GUIDELINES FOR PORTFOLIO PRESENTATION
- A Portfolio is an organized binder that uses
tabs to distinguish between areas of study.
- What do You keep in this Portfolio? All good
copies as well as draft copies of writing, handouts, lessons, etc.
It is the whole terms work.
- A tab for Reading: Title: READ SPACE-
Here you will keep ReadingLog entries.
- A WORDS section where you will keep any
vocabulary strategies I give you. Also you need to
record specific phrases and words you enjoy from
your reading or in your listening to conversations
or music. You could include the reading lists I hand
out here as well.
- A TOOLBOX section where all strategies I
teach you or those you use from the pocket folders
will be kept.
- A TEST section. You may wish to
use a pocket folder that is already hole punched.
- A Writing Section. Title: WRITE SPACE This is where you practice
your skills, keep your drafts and good copies. Any
doodles etc.
Usually this is where we keep our
Notebook.
We will use loose-leaf to keep our story/poetry and
interesting artifacts together in one spot. This is
like our idea section. However, use the colored
sheet I give you to separate notebook from drafts of
work we do as well as good copies. I will go over
this more as we actually begin to complete some
tasks for this.
The portfolio must
have an attractive presentation so any markings on
the outside must be artistic in nature.
Remember to
date all entries and even drafts of their work.
I will add
sections as the year progresses. We will begin with
the above.
I am keeping a
Portfolio at the front of my room, organized so that
if you are mixed up you can come to the model for
consultation.

Introduction
[Beginning of Portfolio]
- Cover Letter-
An “About you”
and “What my portfolio shows about my progress as a learner”
(written at the end, but put at the beginning).The cover
letter summarizes the evidence of your learning and progress
so far.
- Table of Contents:
Have the names
of the tab sections in a list down the page. Beside each tab
section write the contents in that section in list form
- Tasks: Keep Your
Student Task Chart and beginning of
year inventories here. You must also keep your
InformalReadingInventory
in this section. Also
your Book Log goes here.
Tab Sections
[Middle of Portfolio]
For each tab
you will be required to have samples or strategy lessons. I
will clarify specifics as we get close to
test time. Remember
your Portfolio is always
evaluated as part of your
test.
READ SPACE- All writing
to do with your novel and the strategy lessons are kept here.
You will follow the
seven comprehension strategies.
ReadingLog:- Goes
immediately after read space and here you will write your
reflections and
examine the story [see the reading log page]
WORDS: Here you will do
vocabulary exercises. I will give these to you as we go along.
WRITE SPACE: Here you will do
exercises and tasks to go along with the
seven traits of writing.
Notebook-
Follow the link to find out how and what to do in this
section. It is to be kept after write space.
ToolBox:
Will be kept for learning strategy lessons to do with
conventions and grammar.
A TEST Section.
I would suggest to
use a pocket folder that is already hole punched.
Reminders
- Dates
Must be on all
entries, to facilitate proof of growth over time.
- Drafts
must be
included of oral and written products and revised versions; first drafts and corrected/revised versions.
-
Reflections
are required
whenever you make a choice for reading or writing. Explain
why you chose the novel or non-fiction book. Explain why at
the end of each draft you chose to write the piece and why
you picked that format.
-
Evaluation
of Portfolio will
be carried out monthly. I will use the following
rubrics.
-
Self Assessment
of your Portfolio will be part of your Process Tests.
Some questions to consider for self-evaluation are:
-
What did I learn from it?
-
What did I do well?
-
Why (based on the agreed teacher-student assessment
criteria) did I choose this item?
-
What do I
want to improve?
-
How do I feel about my performance?
-
What were the problem areas?
-
Peer Assessment will also be required.
