Portfolio depends upon the students age.
Older students should be given a checklist of what is expected,
and how it will be graded.
Younger students may not understand the grading scale so you
can give them the option of what will be included in their portfolio.
Ask them questions such as, why did you choose this particular
piece, and does it represent your best work?
Involving students in the portfolio process will encourage them to
reflect on their work.
