This year, each of you will maintain a digital portfolio of your work. This is a place for you to collect pieces of writing you are proud of, analysis of texts that you read and your reflections about the year. They will be a public way of sharing your work and reflections of your work as you go. You will share this page with your classmates, myself, other TYWLS students, your parents/guardians and potentially other people outside of TYWLS.
You will start by creating and designing your page. In addition to a collection of your work, consider adding some flavor! Extras to consider:
Task 1: Create a portfolio. In the past we've used tumblr or weebly, but this year I want you to use whatever you prefer. If you have a portfolio or website already, you can make our class a new tab! Know how to create a wix or wordpress? Go for it! This is your digital portfolio collecting what we've been working on, your reflection, and work samples for me, your parents, and each other. * Warning and reminder: This is for a school audience and should have an overall ELA focus
Task 2: Your first post: In order to introduce yourself, write just a few lines about who you are as a reader and writer. See these tumblrs for examples.

YOU DO NOT have to put a photo if you don't feel comfortable. As for the text, be honest- if you prefer read magazines or online, share that!
Task 3: Put your 6 word memoir on your portfolio
Task 4: Write a few lines reflecting about what your hoping to get out of this year in AP Lang and Comp. Consider mentioning what your personal goals are for this class, what you're nervous about and/or what you're excited about.
Task 5: So far in AP...now I want you to collect what we've done in AP so far...this can be another tab on your page or a link to a google doc if you'd like. Just a summary of our Intro to AP Lang and Lit unit. Remember we started by studying the test and now we're using a study of pop culture to be introduced to our work with rhetoric and argument.
You will start by creating and designing your page. In addition to a collection of your work, consider adding some flavor! Extras to consider:
- A link to your goodreads.com. You can link the page on goodreads with your updates by clicking on your picture on goodreads. It will show your profile with recent updates: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/350986-christy-kingham
- Links to Books, films, art that inspire you
- Quotations
