English 10 Portfolio Requirements: 2002-2003

           

The following is a list of requirements for the English 10 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 which will be easier to update in the following year!

 

q       Cover Page (Name, date, school, McBain, period, and visuals-this cover should be creative.)

 

q       Introduction (One page write up about yourself as a student this year)

 

q       Annotated Table of Contents (Title of work, Class, page #, followed by a brief description of each work, why you wrote it, how you felt while writing it, what you liked/disliked about it, what ESLR’s were addressed if any and how.  ESLR’s should be written in bold so they are easily identified.

 

q       List of Readings (Include title author, genre, and page numbers)

 

q       ESLR’s: (One artifact to go with each of the four ESLR’s.  These artifacts should be easily identified in your table of contents because the ESLR title will be in bold.  These artifacts should come from all your classes, not just one!)
