• A hero is someone who has distinguished courage
  or ability and is admired for his brave deeds and
  noble qualities. Some people think heroes are
  rare and are the ones that get famous on the
  news. But I think everyday heroes are just as
  important. I believe my high school basketball
  coach is a hero because he teaches severely
  disabled students, always shows that he cares
  about our lives, and he sets a good example.
• Although many people argue that not everyone is
  capable of living the American Dream, I believe
  that anyone who pursues their dream can achieve
  it as long as they have the courage to overcome
  the obstacles they will inevitably face.
• Superior writing is beneficial to a Medical
  Examiner because they must be able to report
  their findings clearly, effectively, and
  understandably.

  prejudice, it only takes one really annoying

  show it.
• Writing in the field of court reporters has will
  always be in a persons work space or career.

Meaningfully Incorporating the Portfolio Rubric

• By meaningfully incorporating the portfolio
  rubric in our classes, we might accomplish the
  following objectives

13

• How the rubric can help meet these objectives
• Here are some ways one might consider
  incorporating the rubric in his/her classes. 
  Please feel free to add to the list!
• Share and discuss the portfolio rubric with
  students at least prior to the due date(s).
• Have students submit all essays as portfolios
  throughout the semester.
• Supplement your own rubric with the portfolio
  rubric (see attached handout A.1).

14
Some more ideas

• Use rubric to discuss and evaluate model
  paragraphs/essays.
• Use rubric in peer response, either in designing
  feedback handouts for students to use or in
  having students determine areas they would like
  feedback on (see attached handout B.1 and B.2).
• Use rubric for reflection and goal-setting (see
  attached handout C.1 and C.2).
•  When introducing new concepts or revisiting
  previously-taught concepts, use the language of
  the rubric to reinforce course objectives and
  outcomes.
• Other ideas for incorporating the portfolio
  rubric in our classes?
