CONTENT OF PORTFOLIO
Each student will create a Portfolio on an issue/topic/theme/event selected by the students in the group and approved by the teacher. The issue/topic/theme/event will also be orally presented. The issue/topic/theme/event selected should allow for meaningful research and presentation.
The Portfolio should include the following:
1. PLAN OF INVESTIGATION – an introduction to the issue/topic/theme/event (A
satisfactory response should be no more
than 100 words).
(a)
Why did you choose this issue/topic/theme/event?
(b)
What are the expected benefits to you as a student of English?
(c) How do you intend to
collect relevant information on your issue/topic/theme/event and use this in
your presentation?
2. PARTICIPATION MEASURE
– A measure of the candidate’s
individual participation assessed by self and teacher.
3. INDICATORS OF GROUP
ACTIVITY – A minimum of THREE
pieces of data, for example, print, audio, visual media must be collected and
presented in the Portfolio and should address the issue/topic/theme/event
selected. One of the three pieces must be print. These pieces will form the
basis for the process of enquiry and the nature and scope of the group work
activities (cognitive, psychomotor, affective) in which students will become
aware of and practise English language skills.
4. REFLECTION – THREE entries in which the student reflects on the
issue/topic/ theme/ event selected should be completed. In the first entry the
student must indicate how each piece of data helped shape his or her thinking
about the issue/topic/ theme/event. The second journal entry should discuss the
use of language in the data selected and the third entry should state how the
process of doing the SBA helped the student to become a better person. The
reflection should be written in class under the teacher’s supervision.
5. WRITTEN REPORT – A written report of the investigation should be a
summary of the processes, procedures and outcomes of the research. It should
include the data collected, reasons for selection of data and analysis of the
data. A satisfactory report should be about 250-300 words in total.
6. ORAL PRESENTATION – A personal response related to issue/topic/ theme/
event should be delivered orally in 3 to 5 minutes. The oral presentation
should be delivered predominately in standard English and in a genre of the
student’s choosing, for example, drama, poetry, prose, role play, speech,
argument, exposition. The student should deliver a brief overview of the
presentation including the genre chosen, the sources used and a comment on the
kind of language used in the data. A brief plan of the Oral Presentation must
be submitted in the Portfolio.
