MI Chapter 10

I know that I have always hated standarized tests because I was a poor test taker in high school. Even if I understand concepts and ideas, I did poorly on tests. Having student portfolios is a suggestion in this chapter as it was in Wormeli's book that we are reading. The author introduces "The Five C's of Portfolio Development", which will help me as a teacher when I do decide to use portfolios in my students learning and my teaching. The chart of what to put in a MI portfolio helped me to get ideas for lessons. The "Celebration of Learning" stood out to me in this chapter because, again, it gives the students a choice in their learning. I would have loved to have had more of that while I was in high school!
