Portfolio Ho!
by Mrs. Nilsen on May 5th, 2013
Weekly Homeroom News 4/29 - 5/3
Homeroom's been a busy place as of late. We are nearing the end of the school year (inner voice in my head says, "no...no we're not...We can't be!....I can't think that now or I might cry!!") and for our Seniors that means we're cranking out our Portfolios. Portfolios are a fantastic way for students to reflect on their work. They help us facilitate the mission of our school - teaching students to be life-long learners, assessing their skills and applying knowledge both in and outside the classroom.
We've just completed our Essential Knowledge Section and worked this past week on "Communication." For the Communication Section, students are to pick a piece of evidence that shows they are a good communicator. Be that a letter, an essay, or another piece of work, students will choose one piece and write a reflection explaining how the evidence shows they are proficient for their grade level at communication.
