This project expired on February 26, 2009.

I am teaching an English Language Arts resource class in an inner city public school. I have 20 students with special needs who are hardworking and are excited to proudly showcase their wonderful works in our class.

My class is using an alternative method of assessment-student portfolio assessment- which is based on student performance, and take the form of investigations, problem solving situations, and assignments that combine reading, writing, and the arts. We do not have enough binders and other supplies for my students to create and keep their works for their portfolios.

My students need portfolio binders, markers, crayons and blank journals to help them make the reading/writing connection, and express their creativity with colorful illustrations. These materials will encourage keeping a journal, writing daily, expressing thoughts and feelings, and learning the "process" of writing. It's the kind of activity that "real" writers do, and my students CAN do given enough resources and proper encouragement and support.

These portfolios will provide examples of the wonderful works of my students, which will serve not only as an assessment of performance over a period of time but are also authentic. They represent the ongoing work of my students for the year. Your generosity will greatly help my students maximize their potentials.
