Final Project Option #2: Creative Writing Portfolio



Create a collection of your work and the words that matter to you at this time in your life in a PORTFOLIO created either in a blank book (I can get one to you if you send me your address) OR in a Google Slides presentation (pretend each slide is a "page").

(We would have used discarded books and created an "altered book" like the one pictured above, using all sorts of craft supplies and multiple class periods if we were together for the end of the school year. If this final project option appeals to you just make it work using what time and supplies you have.)

Your portfolio will be divided into 5 sections/tabs and should include visuals, text variations, creativity, etc.

Here are the REQUIREMENTS for each of the 5 sections explained.

Here is the SCORING GUIDE for this project.

If you create an actual book, we will schedule a Canvas Conference when you're finished for you to show it to your classmates and me.

If you create your "book" online, share your Google Slides to me at hfraser@sps.org.


Seniors' last day is Friday, 8 May but you are all--seniors and juniors--welcome to work on this project through 20 May if needed.

Final Project Option #1: Children's Book



Create a book intended for younger readers that includes easy-to-read, engaging text as well as colorful, relevant illustrations.

You may create an actual book (let me know if you'd still like a blank book delivered to you) OR you may create your book online using a platform like Storybird or Storyjumper or another site of your choice.

If you create an actual book, we will schedule a Canvas Conference when you're finished for you to show it to your classmates and me.

If you create your book online, send me the link and log-in for the site you used and I will order a paper copy of your finished creation for you.

Here is the SCORING GUIDE for this project.


Seniors' last day is Friday, 8 May but you are all--seniors and juniors--welcome to continue working on your project until 20 May if needed.
