Creating & Organizing a Writer's Portfolio

Help me give my students binders and dividers to create their own writer's portfolios.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $426

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are hard-working writers and creators. The goal for the project resources, binders and dividers, I'm requesting, will enable me to provide them with the tools to organize writing resources that I have given them, as well as create a professional writing portfolio. This will serve as practice for real-world situations such as job interviews, college acceptance interviews, and skills growth monitoring. Writers who can track their own growth over time become more prolific writers.

Doesn't every teacher dream of supporting students in becoming stronger and more confident writers?

The ability to write well is a life skill and an asset when looking for acceptance to a college or career. Please consider helping me support them in this journey.
