Final Portfolio

I like the idea of have a final portfolio instead of a final test. Personally, I always freak out during tests I don't like the pressure put on me during them so I tend to do worse than I would if I didnt have that pressure on me. This final portfolio gives us the opportunity to express our writing in the best way possible. We have tons of time to work on it and plus it still counts for 55% of our grade. It is pass or fail do or die time for this portfolio but atleast we dont have the pressure like we would a math test or something. I feel like a lot of people would agree with me on this because it reall is a lot of help doing it this way with out so much pressure rather than being in a huge room with 100 kids while its burning up in there. Thats not ideal for test taking. Mr. Brown has done a good job at letting us know what is expected of us and lets us know where we stand on our grades.
