Your Final Portfolio task asks that you draw from your best work in Writing Workshop and English I to demonstrate your proficiency or mastery of the six standards for our course.
This is the document you were given in class that more clearly outlines the Final Portfolio task, how it will be used in your final exam, and gives you space to re-define the standards in student-friendly language.

Article of the Week 11 - Crowdsourced Background Knowledge
In my quest to find better ways to integrate the tools of technology into our class, I have created a collaborative document with terms and phrases that will help us build background knowledge before reading this week's Article of the Week.
In your small groups, nominate one person to type and have the rest of the group work on research and helping the person who is typing. As a group, our goal is to have some knowledge about every term and phrase on the sheet before we begin reading.
The collaborative documents for each class can be found here:
