Portfolio workspace Choose your briefHigh-school scaffold College extension Write a 900–1,200-word story and a 200-word adaptation. Include a character goal, consequential choice, controlled viewpoint and an ending connected to earlier details. Add a 250-word revision memo.
Build it in stages Choose a premise, a character goal and an obstacle. Keep an initial version before making substantial changes. Use the viewpoint, pacing and dialogue investigations to test alternatives. Save three before/after lesson drafts with commentary and three dialogue cues. Draft the complete story. Reverse-outline its events and identify the choice that changes what is possible. Collect specific reader feedback or conduct a labeled self-review. Revise a consequential element, preserving an earlier full draft. Adapt one scene into a different viewpoint or dramatic script, complete the unfamiliar task and assemble a portfolio that distinguishes source material from your additions.

Record a source once where it belongs. Use the notes for a reference list, synthesis matrix and research-route declaration. A filled card does not verify a source or count as independent research.
Your source dossier Keep source wording, your paraphrase and your reasoning in separate fields. Locators are stored as plain text; the site does not fetch or verify them. Label fictional teaching sources as fictional.

Character and consequence Still developing: States traits while events happen without meaningful choices.
Convincing evidence: Builds observable wants, obstacles and choices whose consequences shape the story.
Viewpoint and language Still developing: Changes access to knowledge unintentionally or relies on generic emotional labels.
Convincing evidence: Controls perception and uses specific language, action and voice to guide inference.
Pacing and structure Still developing: Allocates detail arbitrarily or introduces an unrelated ending.
Convincing evidence: Uses scene and summary purposefully and develops an ending from earlier choices or details.
Revision and adaptation Still developing: Makes surface edits or changes medium without considering the effect.
Convincing evidence: Documents substantive revision and explains how the adaptation changes access, emphasis or dramatic action.

Write a short scene with a concrete goal, a complication and a consequential choice. Then retell its pivotal moment from another viewpoint without giving that narrator unsupported knowledge. Explain one change in the reader’s inference.

Assemble for review ○ Still needed — An artifact and saved transfer response for each of the 6 investigations ○ Still needed — At least 3 explained performance cues from 1 investigations ○ Still needed — At least 3 lesson revisions with different baseline/current drafts and commentary ○ Still needed — A portfolio draft and preserved comparison draft ○ Still needed — A revision commentary and rubric-based review ○ Still needed — A saved response to the unfamiliar project passage These checks establish that evidence is present. They do not assess its accuracy, originality or quality. Skipping alone does not satisfy evidence requirements; saved artifacts and transfer responses are checked independently.
