Task list

9203_31904_3.pngYour portfolio
Your portfolio is a collection of your work that represents your performance. Portfolios can include
•       photographs or videos of science experiments, performances, or exhibits
•       online presentations
•       accomplishments and favorite work
•       self-critiques and peer reviews of your work.
You can also use your portfolio to
•       contain a work in progress that illustrates the creation of a product, such as an essay, as it evolves through various stages of conception, drafting, and revision
•       log progress on readings and other recurrent projects
•       involve parents in your education.
9203_31904_3.pngCollect, select, and reflect
Traditionally, you write, hand in, and forget about the assignment. Portfolios provide an easy way to save that work and are an effective way to let you take a second look and think about how you can improve future work.
When deciding what to include in your portfolio consider:
•       What would I like to reread or share with my parents or a friend?
•       What makes this a good product?
•       Will the content include one subject, or span several subject areas?
As you build a portfolio of selected pieces, you generate criteria for good work. If you are a primary student, you may simply follow guidelines set out by teachers. As a secondary student, you may brainstorm with the teacher and peers and, together set the guidelines to determine what type of work should be included.
This is an example of a portfolio that spans a couple of subjects.
