4. What is its purpose?
Eventually it will hold some of your
writing samples
Right now it is a visual tool for all of us to
get to know you
It will be a visual display of your
personality & interests
15. Decide what you want us to know about you,
your family, your hobbies and interests, etc.
Gather pictures, images, & words to show
us. You must have a photo of yourself.
You can glue on clip art, words from
magazines, or draw on the folder
Print your first and last name on the tab--
keep the folder horizontal
16. Instructions continued:
Arrange the pictures however you like. They
can overlap, but you don’t have to cover the
whole folder.
The folder will hang in the hall, so only
decorate the one side that will show.
You can decorate it with glier, markers,
ribbons, but remember it will hang in the hall.
18. RESTRICTIONS
DO NOT use any family photographs without your
parents’ permission!!! You can use a photocopy.
All images must be suitable for the school
seing--nothing that would upset Grandma, Mr.
Strong, or me.
No weapons, no professional athletes, no
musicians, no models or actors! You are the star
here!
19. Public Speaking
Learning to speak to groups is an important
skill. You will be doing this at least once a
quarter.
Your first public speaking assignment will be
to tell us about yourself! Using the images
and information on your Writing Portfolio,
tell the class about yourself. Plan on
speaking for a minute or two.
20. You-- the listener
When your classmates are speaking, it is
your responsibility to:
Be quiet, and listen carefully
Try to remember their names
Pay aention to students who have the
same interests and before you know it you’ll
have-----
