Your wiki page and your portfolio grade


Your Writing Portfolio 

30 points

 

 

Our ability to write changes over time.  Think back to when you learned to write.  You may have used pictures to represent a whole story.  As you learned letters and words (and read a lot of stories or had them read to you), you began to sound out the spellings for words in order to get your point across.  If you fast-forward ahead to your current age, I am sure you will see a vast improvement in your ability to communicate your ideas in written form.  

 

 

Essentially that is what I hope your portfolio will show --- the growth in your writing ability during this 7th grade year.
