the dreaded "what to do for portfolio review" question for unschoolers
Amy Mason
I absolutely love these groups (sorry for the double posting but wanted
to make sure I get all the help I can ;-) ) and have learned so much
since "switching over to the dark side"...just teasing...he he he.
Anyway, I am still very unsure about how to present a portfolio for my
review. I've read Sandra Dodd's site on curriculum and found it very
useful except for showing something tangible come review day. Last
review was a breeze; here's workbook a, here's workbook b, bla bla
bla. I know he's continuing to use his knowledge of mathematical
principals, applying them in everyday life and understanding them quite
well I might add - better than the boring workbook days - but how do I
show his progress? handwriting too...gone are the daily copy work
lessons we used to do and he hasn't volunteered to write anything yet.
(BTW - he'll be 8 next year)
Also -advice wanted from any fellow West Virginians who have had
experience with unschooler friendly portfolio reviewers or does everyone
test?
Thanks in advance to all of you wonderful contributors!
