Microsoft Word language assessment theory with practice

Assessment tools and justification for their use 
Definition:
A portfolio is a ‘kind of a yearbook’, purposeful collection of various 
in-class, out-of-class, and research activities and products (e.g., charts, 
graphs, drawings, maps, papers, posters, tables) showing that learning 
has taken place.
 
Guidelines for implementation 
*During a four-week period, Sts will read, do research, talk and write 
about Natural disasters happening in places with different climates 
around the world. 
*Every week, Sts are given different tasks to complete. They are 
required to place all initial drafts, final versions, resource materials, 
maps etc. in their portfolios: 
 
Week 1: Natural Disasters 
Try to learn as many things about natural disasters happening in places 
with different climates and geography (e.g., Japan = earthquakes vs 
Atlantic Ocean region = hurricanes).
