Finally, here is the Checklist you should use to make sure your portfolio is complete:
Our PORTFOLIO contains:
1. Individual Reading Logs including:
- my reactions and reflections as I was reading the short story/book
- self -assessment (e.g. commitment, what I would do differently, whether I am pleased with my work and the group's work, .... )
2. Information about the author and background historical information
3. Beautiful Passages and discussion
4. Illustration(s) and discussion
5. Any other texts you've written (e.g. dramatisations)
6. Conclusions and recommendations (Group)
(Points 2-6 = your presentation, mostly)
And now I'm done with checklists :)

Reading Project - Checklist 2 - Groupwork
Click here for a second Checklist, this time about Group Work. It's actually the one you filled in in class and that will be used later in both final assessment and individual interviews.
Reading Project - Checklist 1 - Presentations
Here are just a few questions - actually a checklist - to help you prepare and assess your Presentation:
When we introduce the author and historical background:
1. We selected aspects that are relevant for the interpretation of the book/short story
2. After the presentation the audience will be able to establish the connections between author/background and book/short story
About the connections/illustrations:
1. We have discussed them in the group
2. Presentation is the result of that discussion, not individual points of view
3. We are happy with our work mainly because we discovered many new things.
About the Beautiful Passages:
They are either:
1. illustrated and/or
2. read expressively and/or
3. dramatised and/or
4. explained in terms of style/technique
If we have a Powerpoint:
1. We're NOT going to read the slides
2. Most slides are IMAGES that help us illustrate/explain some point
3. If we do have some text, we are quite sure it's just topics
4. Text/topics are 'readable' i.e. right font / right colour / right background
All in all:
1. We are confident because we read the book/short story and are well-prepared
2. We are confident our colleagues will be curious and will most probably read the book (or at least see the film!)
I tried to keep it simple. Add other questions if you must. That would be lovely :)
