If this is your first year at AdVENTURE...

Navigate to Google Sites and create a new site. Then, create a home page and a grade level page.

Home page

 

This is where your readers will land. A homepage is the introduction for the rest of your portfolio and provides general information about you and the purpose of the site. In addition, a homepage provides links to the other pages within your portfolio. Above all, your homepage should be inviting to its viewers so that they will want to see and read more of your portfolio. The overall design of your homepage will vary depending on the purpose, the needs of the site users, the aesthetic and design goals for the site as well as the complexity of your portfolio.

 

DO NOT INCLUDE ANY INFORMATION, such as pictures, e-mail  or real address, phone number, Google+ account, etc.

​

Include a 5 paragraph essay titled "What it means to be an AdVENTURE student"

​

Grade Level Page

​

Write an essay entitled "How to survive the ___ grade at AdVENTURE". In this essay, tell us about what you enjoyed and did not enjoy this year. Answer questions such as:

  • What would you do differently if you could go back to the beginning of the year?

  • What was the easiest or most difficult part of this year for you?

  • What do you wish your teachers had done?

​

Organizer that may help you craft this essay.

​

​

Create a series of subpages with the following headings

  • Science

  • Social Studies

  • English

  • Math

  • STEM

  • Tech tools

 

In each subpage, choose at least one artifact from each class and embed it into the page. If you choose a non-digital product, take a picture of it and add it to the page. This artifact represents what you believe was your best work for that class. 

For each item you present, you must include a reflection (1-2 paragraphs) that explains why you chose that item and how does it show your achievement. Avoid phrases such as "I chose this because I have always been interested in _____".

 

For tech tools, include the name of a tool you learned to use this year (Glogster, Edmodo, Kahoot, etc.). Add a linked image that takes us to its home page. Briefly describe what the tool is, how/when you used it and how it impacted your learning.
