End of Class Portfolio
A portfolio is a collection of work that reflects a person’s experiences or accomplishments. Portfolios often include written reflections on the included work. They are usually presented in binders or folders in a way that is well organized and visually appealing. You will be making a digital representation of your work through a website. Your username will be issued to you and your initial password should be changed to something easy you will remember.
You can access your website at: students.weebly.com or on the Weebly app.
You will then need to share your website address with Ms. Hadler ([email protected]) or Ms. Raja ([email protected])
Third period portfolio is due on May 25th by 11:25am! Fourth period portfolio is due on May 25th by 12:25pm!
You will create a portfolio of your honors physics learning experiences. For each of the categories listed below you will do two things:
1. Choose an item to represent the category.
2. Write a reflection for the category.
Webpage Layout
*Portfolio Categories
Each category should have its own webpage.
For each of the following categories, your portfolio should have a physical representation (item) and a written reflection:
*Extended Reflections
Each extended reflection should have its own webpage.
For these categories you do not include a physical representation. These are written reflections on how you have changed over time as a result of your learning in this course. These reflections should be lengthier, (about 3-5 paragraphs) more substantial that the above.

You will create a portfolio of your honors physics learning experiences. For each of the categories listed below you will do two things:
1. Choose an item to represent the category.
- This item might be a lab report, project, quiz, homework assignment, or anything else that was returned to you by the teacher. Alternatively, you could include an assignment sheet, a photo of a project, or a piece of a project if it is too large to include. This is a representation. To include these one your website, you will need to take a photo of whatever items you choose to represent your category.
2. Write a reflection for the category.
- The reflection should explain how/why your item selection represents the category. The reflections should be clearly titled and arranged in the same note with the item that they discuss. Reflections should be about two paragraphs.
Webpage Layout
- Your home page is a welcome page to your website portfolio. It is an "All About Me" page. It should include information such as your name (first name only), your year in school, maybe your family, future plans, etc. Information about yourself will go on this page
- You should have links on your welcome page to each of the portfolio categories and the extended reflections. There are 12 total, so you should have 12 links on your homepage. These should be easily visible and easy to navigate.
- Each webpage should have a link to the next webpage AND the homepage.
- Multiple photos are recommended for the 9 portfolio categories.
- You don't have to include photos for the extended reflections, unless you feel it would enhance your writing.
*Portfolio Categories
Each category should have its own webpage.
For each of the following categories, your portfolio should have a physical representation (item) and a written reflection:
- A lab investigation that did not work well. Include thoughts on how it could have been improved.
- A sudden insight. A time during the year when “a light bulb went on” and you suddenly understood something that you previously did not.
- One thing that you studied but still do not understand.
- Another thing that you studied but still do not understand.
- Choose two labs/activities/lessons/topics/ from different parts of the year (not the same unit). How were the physics topics in these two things connected/related?
- A lesson/assignment/topic/class discussion that reveals the impact of physics on society.
- A lab/activity/topic/discussion that reveals the relevance of physics to your life.
- A topic you most enjoyed learning about.
- Best example of you using experimental evidence to arrive at a new understanding of something
*Extended Reflections
Each extended reflection should have its own webpage.
For these categories you do not include a physical representation. These are written reflections on how you have changed over time as a result of your learning in this course. These reflections should be lengthier, (about 3-5 paragraphs) more substantial that the above.
- How has your thinking on everyday things changed as a result of your learning physics? How does physics affect you everyday?
- Because of your learning in this course, what topic do you think differently about?
- From our work this year, how do you now think differently about the natural world?
