**** If I had the chance to do it all over again. - www.etni.org **** Here is the reflection one of my pupils in a 5 pt tenth grade class wrote about the portfolio. I corrected the few errors in the English before posting. (Mostly verb-subject agreement - about 3 errors.) Her comments were echoed by other pupils as well. The portfolio consisted of corrected classwork, quizzes, dictations, tests etc. and three pieces of independent writing on given topics. I believe that writing a portfolio is a great idea because it makes us correct our work and learn from our own mistakes. I chose to write about sibling rivalry because I feel that living with two sisters and being the one in the middle has a great influence on my personality. The second topic I chose was about what kind of a friend I am. I chose this topic because friendship is a very important issue in my life. By doing this project, I learned how to write freely and how to correct my mistakes. It is more difficult than studying for a test and it takes more time. Next time, I will write longer essays and won?t leave it for the last minute.
