Getting+to+Know+You

For our first major assignment of the year, we are going to create electronic portfolios and compose a getting-to-know-you home page for them.

The first thing you need to do is to create your portfolio. You can do this by going to wikispaces.com and creating an account.

Once you create your account (remember the username and password!), you want to create a wiki. 1. Click on "new wiki", choose the "I prefer not to answer" option for Your Industry. 2. When you name your wiki, you will want it to be two things: Something your teachers will be able to recognize you with, and something school appropriate. 3. Choose Wiki for the type of page you want to create. This will take you to your home page.

Once you create your wiki, you are going to compose your getting-to-know-you page by writing two things: 1. Your biopoem. You can download the document below for the template. 2. Your literacy narrative - this should be a brief story about how reading and writing has impacted (or not impacted) your life up until now. For an example, go to Ms. Ryce's Page.

Feel free to be as creative as you like with what you compose, the pictures, links, videos, etc. that you upload, and the fonts you choose. This is your site; make it your own.
