Student Led Conferences are coming up on February 22nd!

In order to help you be more prepared to discuss your learning with your parents, we will create a Showcase Portfolio page on our blogs. You can include this page on your navigation menu at the top of your blog.

Include:

  1. Your Student Led Conferences goals (that we worked on in Tutor group a few weeks ago)
  2. A brief reflection on each goal. Did you meet your goal? Why or why not? Did it help you this year?
  3. Special pieces of work that you would like to highlight
  4. A visual or a link for each piece of work you are highlighting – even if you don’t have a link or a visual for a piece, you should still include it. You can take a picture of it anytime before school ends and then include it in your portfolio later.
  5. A brief description of why this piece of work is special

Types of work that you might like to include:

  • things you’re proud of
  • things you did well on
  • things you found interesting
  • things you thought were fun
  • things you learned a lot from

Steps to complete your Showcase Portfolio

  1. Create a new PAGE on your blog
  2. Call your page Showcase or Showcase Portfolio or Portfolio
  3. Add a title: Grade 6 (next year we’ll add a new section for grade 7, and so on)
  4. Type your goals from your SLC document
  5. Type your reflections for each goal
  6. Determine which pieces of work you want to highlight – these may be the same pieces from SLC (but it’s ok if they’re not)
  7. Find examples for each piece of work you’re highlighting – could be a blog link, could be a picture or a video & add them to your page
  8. Type a description for each piece, think about:
    • Why did you include this piece
    • What did you learn from this piece/experience
    • What are your next steps with this piece of work/experience
  9. Add your Showcase Portfolio page to your navigation menu at the top of your blog (in Appearance>Menus)
During our next Technology lesson, we will take a look at your Showcase Portfolios to see what else we can add. If you would like to see some examples from last year, take a look at these:
Make sure you have gotten started on your Showcase Portfolio by Feb 15th so we can have a few days to get feedback and add improvements.
