The grade level portfolio only includes finished/near finished pieces.
  • Working writing folder – Purpose – to provide teacher and student an opportunity to reflect on growth across pieces, genres, content areas, etc. Includes multiple samples and drafts of the writing listed above that will be used to select writing for the grade level portfolio; does not need to include finished pieces.
  • Writing journals, notebooks, etc – Purpose – provide a space for drafting, writing, drawings, organizers, etc. This is where the writing that will end up in the folders listed above gets done.
