How Portfolios Motivate Reluctant Writers.
Frazier, Darlene M.; Paulson, F. Leon
Educational Leadership, v49 n8 p62-65 May 1992
An Oregon elementary teacher encouraged a group of fourth grade students in a writing pullout program to share their writings in a portfolio she was assembling for an education class. The kids all volunteered their writing, learned to express themselves better, and asked to create their own portfolios. The experience fostered student ownership, pride, and high self-esteem. (MLH)
