Coming Soon- Links to your portfolios!
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:
  • 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

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. 
Christy: http://www.tumblr.com/blog/christykingham
Zakia: http://zakiamomo.tumblr.com
Perl: http://perlsingh.tumblr.com
Tasnim: http://tasnimh.tumblr.com/post/63372379195
Noor: http://noorismailtywls.tumblr.comStella: http://stelazz.tumblr.com
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 English. Consider mentioning what your personal goals are for this class, what you're nervous about and/or what you're excited about.

Task 5:  Bluest Eye Reflection: Should this book be a required read? Why or why not?
