Portfolio workspace Choose your briefHigh-school scaffold College extension Write a 600–900-word feature for students planning after-school study. Include a useful opening, a supported explanation, a clear limitation, a practical next step and source notes. Keep a first draft and revision commentary.
Build it in stages Define a reader and the decision your explanation will help them make. List facts you have and questions the packet cannot answer. Build two source cards and annotate the evidence-and-explanation packet. Make a claim that respects each source’s scope. Create an outline with paragraph jobs, then draft the feature. Save a comparison version before substantive revision. Use specific peer feedback or a labeled self-review. Revise at least one structural choice and one sentence-level choice, explaining both. Check quotation fidelity, source locators and unsupported promises. Complete the unfamiliar task and assemble the portfolio. Your lesson evidence These links open your original saved investigations.

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.

Audience and purpose Still developing: Gives a general account without helping a particular reader.
Convincing evidence: Selects and orders information around a named audience’s question and enables an appropriate next step.
Evidence and attribution Still developing: Overgeneralizes from the log or interview, or hides borrowing.
Convincing evidence: Represents sources faithfully, provides locators and distinguishes observation, testimony and inference.
Organization and sentences Still developing: Uses disconnected details, ambiguous references or decorative transitions.
Convincing evidence: Builds focused paragraphs and sentence relationships that clarify the explanation without changing the facts.
Revision Still developing: Makes only surface corrections or accepts all advice mechanically.
Convincing evidence: Documents substantive changes, explains feedback decisions and preserves a visible before/after comparison.
Review record — self-review or reader feedback, evidence from your draft, and next steps 0 / 16,000 characters · length is a storage limit, not a quality score Unfamiliar transfer task Unfamiliar editorial task: A fictional museum notice says a workshop has ten places and requires advance booking. A volunteer counted eight visitors turned away on Saturday but did not ask why. One visitor said they had not seen the booking notice. Write a short explanation for first-time visitors and a separate recommendation to the organizer. Preserve what is known, what remains uncertain and who said what; do not claim that every turned-away visitor lacked a booking.

Assemble for review ○ Still needed — An artifact and saved transfer response for each of the 6 investigations ○ Still needed — At least 2 explained annotations drawn from 1 investigations ○ Still needed — At least 2 source cards with creator, locator, quotation, paraphrase, relevance and limitation across lessons and portfolio ○ Still needed — At least 2 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.
