Portfolio Entry Resources
I am attaching the PowerPoint that Anna DiPinto provided form her presentation on the Big Ideas in Science. It is very similar to the handouts that I will scan into the video section, but this might be helpful for those of you who were not able to join us!



Here is a video of one of our PD presenters this year and provides a general introduction to the writing process which is so critical to our work: media type="youtube" key="6YSfC6SQPZE?fs=1" height="385" width="640"

This is another You Tube video that discusses the writing process in general - it's a PowerPoint on video, but not tool annoying! She makes some pretty good points......

and just one more with the six traits of writing... nothing groundbreaking, but good to be reminded occasionally...

I will be posting the documents with the dates I have added them here (hope it prevents double printing or saving on your part - I hate it when that happens :-})

[|Sentence starters] I thought this would help us to stay focused in our writing. It is applicable for all entries. Laurie

Laurie, this is a wonderful resource for all. It is critical that we use the language that will make us appear to be "professionals" for all to see and believe. These are great ways to describe what occurs and uses the language of the standards. I am looking for another sheet that I will attach here... Thank you for sharing this with the group and I urge you all to check it out.
