Preparing Your Portfolio Your portfolio will be a place for you to collect, review, and revise the work you do during each unit of instruction. Use your brainstorming about choice, the quotes, your response to the quotes, and your reflection, planning, and goal setting as a reader and writer to create a portfolio cover. Creatively express your ideas. The largest thing on your cover should be the word “Choice.”
Exploring Your Choices In your Reader/Writer Notebook, create a web titled “My Choices” to brainstorm the choices you have faced and decisions you have made in your life. Think about large and small choices from the past and in the present.
You will return to this web throughout the unit.
Add these ideas to the second section of your portfolio cover. Use words, phrases, or pictures, and then label this section “personal choices.”
