The purpose of the caption sheet is to provide context for each assignment included in student's portfolios.

Caption Sheets must include all of the following: 

• Title of Assignment

• Student Name

• Common Core Standards. Write the standard that best fits the assignment. This should be a content standard for the individual subject area. A number such as 2.1 will NOT be accepted for the standard. Teachers can help identify the standards for any given assignment. 

• Schoolwide Learning Outcomes. Write out the SLO which best fits with the assignment. 

• Description of the assignment. Explain what the assignment required. Also, provide enough details so your readers can easily understand the assignment.

• Reflection. Write 3 to 5 quality sentences reflecting on your work and your process. Some questions to consider include:

  • How does the assignment best meet the identified SLO?

  • What are you most proud of about the assignment? 

  • What did you learn by completing this assignment? 

  • How does this assignment connect to your future goals? 

  • What is the significance of this assignment?
