1. Sort your work into 3 piles, according to the 3 standards • The 3 piles should be: • Science variables • Graphing • Average, error and accuracy Use the portfolio requirement handout to help you (download it from my website)
2. Choose your BEST work from each of the 3 piles • Make sure that you choose 1 assignment that shows me that you understand the material.
3. Choose an assignment that shows your growth as a student • A good assignment would be one that you: • Struggled with • Took a long time to finish • Did not complete because you did not understand it • Were unfamiliar or uncomfortable with at first • Never did an assignment like this before
4. Choose your favorite assignment • A good assignment is one that you • Are proud of • Had the most fun with • Used to study for the test and it helped a lot
5. Write a paragraph for every assignment that you choose • Make sure that you explain why you choose the assignment • Explain how you felt about the assignment (it was hard, easy, fun, stressful) • Explain how the assignment did or did not help you • Talk about if you would like to do the assignment again and explain why
6. Have someone edit your paragraphs • Make sure • There are no spelling errors • The sentences are complete • You have 5 sentences for each paragraph • Check the rubric for more specific details (download it from my website)
7. Create a table of contents and a title page (should be typed) • A table of contents shows the pages that your work is on (download one from my website) • Example: • A title page has your name, period, date and title • Example: Investigation Portfolio First and Last Name Period X August 15 Table of Contents TitlePage # Reflection 2 Accuracy Handout 3 Graphing Practice 4 Quiz 1 5 Growth 6 Favorite 7
8. Type and print the paragraphs, title page and table of contents • If you do not have a printer, use a printer at school in the library OR computer lab during these times: • Before school • Nutrition break • Lunch • After school
9. Put the portfolio in order • 1st page= title page • 2nd page= table of contents • Next page or two= typed reflection paragraphs • Next page= Average, error, accuracy • Next page= Scientific variables • Next page= Graphing • Next page= Growth • Next page= Favorite
10. Attach the pages together and fill out the checklist • You may use a staple or a report cover to attach the pages • Use the checklist I gave you (you can download another one from my website) to make sure that you have completed everything • Use the rubric to ensure that you have met the requirements for the grade you want (download it from my website)
11. Turn it in • Remember, turn it in ON TIME so that you can re-do it for full credit within the next week. • If you miss the due date, turn it in ASAP because the grade drops 10% every day.
