Portfolio Checklist 2003
The
following is a list of requirements for the English 9 Pre-AP portfolio. Each of
the items must be included in your portfolio and will represent a relative
score on the rubric. Please note that the order of items is up to you, except
for the writing section, which must be in the order listed here.
Your
portfolio should be designed with your individual personality in mind,
therefore please be creative in the display of your work. Points will be given
for both creativity and organization as well completion and performance on all
requirements.
**Unless otherwise indicated, all items must be typed,
double-spaced. Please include all handwritten forms of work after the typed
version**
As an
alternative to a binder-type portfolio, you have the option of creating a
digital portfolio. Digital portfolios that include these items will be given 20
extra credit points! I encourage you to make a digital portfolio as it can be
updated in the following year!
