1) Short introduction of what I'm going to be talking about, and thank them for taking the time to meet with me and look at my learning.
2) Open up portfolio that's found at www.wix.com/dancergrrl16/englishportfolio
3) Go over purpose of this portfolio
- To give me a chance to share my learning with my parents and teacher
- To help me to take responsibility of my learning
- To give me a "big picture" perspective on your progress in this class
- To give me a chance to learn and practice new technology skills as I design and produce my online portfolio
All of these purposes were stated in the writing standards portfolio rubric and assignment sheet
4) Read introduction
5) Go over the four traits that I'm being assessed on (ideas, organization, voice, and word choice), and the example that I have to back up that I've demonstrated these traits this semester.
6) Let them browse through the work gallery I made that shows the full version of all of the major essays I've written this quarter and let them know that they can read them fully after I'm done with the rest of the presentation.
7) Read the conclusion to this portfolio, discussing with them the accomplishments that I've made this semester, and the goals that I hope to achieve within the next semester.
8) Ask for questions
9) Thank them again for listening, and ask them to post a comment answering these questions:
- What piece of writing did you like best in my portfolio and why?
- What did you like about my portfolio and sharing and what would you like to see me improve on?
- Which of the writing traits (ideas, organization, voice, word choice) do you feel was most successful for me?
- Which of the traits of writing would you like me to improve on in the coming semester
