Teacher Created Lesson Plan — Desktop Publishing/Multimedia Electronic Portfolio Assignment/Scoring Guide
Tonya Skinner, Oran High School, Oran, MO
Suggested software: Microsoft Expression Web, Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver, or any Web design software; PDF copies of work samples (can create PDFs free using CutePDF) or electronic copies of animated work (.gif, .avi, .wmv, .flv) that is viewable cross-platform
Assignment Overview
During the course of the semester, you will collect items to include in an e-portfolio. This will be burned to CD for you to keep at the end of the school year. A copy will also remain at the school (turn in for grade—10 points). A portfolio should showcase your best work, so think reflectively about the process you used in creating each piece, what special features/concepts are illustrated by the piece, and why you believe it should be included among the “best of the best” of your work. A minimum of 10 pieces should be included.
Part 1: ___/40 + Part 2: ___/30 + Part 3: __/60 + Part 4: ___/40 + CD burned ___/5= ____/175

Part 1: Entrance Page
Using Web design software, design the “entrance” to your portfolio. This should include a graphic designed by you that captures your personality and spirit. A photograph is encouraged, but optional. Your entrance should include navigation to the rest of the portfolio in the form of buttons or text links (consider grouping by category—see Part 2). A drop-down menu for quick access should be included. Include the date of the portfolio and your name in italics at the bottom of the page. These should be professional in appearance.
