Senior Capstone Portfolio: During the 12th grade, collect items to go in your Senior Portfolio. The digital portfolio (starting on Google Drive) showcases the “best work” of your senior year. Completion is due by April 1, 2021.
Directions: The purpose of the portfolio is to create a showcase of pictures, events, papers, or products from your senior year that capture your “best work.” Items to include should come from your Senior Capstone, but you may also include items from your classes, extracurricular activities, work, or community service.
Requirements:
Include seven required evidence pieces.
Include three additional items of your choice that meet portfolio standards.
Best practice: complete 5 components per grading period.
Your senior English teacher can help you with ideas for what to include in your portfolio. These should be items you are already doing in your senior year or in your Senior Capstone.
A rubric is included to guide your work.
Carefully read the Portfolio Choice Board below for required pieces of evidence.
