I really like the piece she infuses here about the limits on student writing--there shouldn't be. Too often we only allow students to write that which we can grade. Why?

I love several elements about this one. One is how the students had choice in choosing the topic based on their interest, and two how they chose the outcome they wanted. This looks like a good fit for the Self-Awareness unit that the 8th grade did in the beginning of the year.

A portfolio is not the pile of student work that accumulates over a semester or year. Rather, a portfolio contains a purposefully selected subset of student work. "Purposefully" selecting student work means deciding what type of story you want the portfolio to tell.
