Hello!
Ok, so this will be my last post in the portfolio this year... but I'll continue it next year, with loads of new writings, speakings, oral presentations... and maybe something more! I don't know what is waiting for me next year yet ;-)
So what can I say about this portfolio? Well, of course it was something new this year. Everything we did (the blogger, the presentations, and even the whole English classes) were quite different than in other years. Of course we have all complained a lot, because (and this is true) it was a lot of work. But I cannot say that I haven't enjoyed it, because, in fact, I have.
Maybe it was quite difficult at the beginning, 'cause we had enough stress with exams and things like that, and we didn't really understand the sense of a Portfolio, we didn't really understand why we had to show teachers the work they had already seen.
Also creating this e-portfolio was quite a new experience. It was fristly a bit strange idea because it was the first time we had to show our work to the world. But after a time I realized that doing and e-portfolio, instead of the typical dossier or CD, has also got many advantages, because it's, on the one hand, faster to do and, on the other hand, you won't loose your work because everything is in the internet.
I think that, all in all, I have improved a lot this year, maybe more than in other years, and not only because of the new things we did in class, but because of the blogger and portfolio as well.
The portfolio actually is a very nice way to see how much you have improved from the first writing, speaking, or oral presentation until the last one.
So, to sum up, it was a very nice year, with many innovations which were quite strange at the beggining but that, at the same time, made me and most of 1st Batxillerat students improve a lot.
So let me use this short entry to thank the teachers, Lourdes (who somehow always finds a sollution for every problem you have), Sònia (our "Miss youtube") and Núria for organising this whole project so well and for helping us so much. I think it would have been VERY difficult without their help.
See you next year!

Well, Jenny, you make the world a better place with such a positive energy and enthusiasm! :-)
I must say, and I am sure Lourdes and Nuri will agree, it has been such a lot of work for us three this project, I mean, that, sometimes you wondered whether it was all worth it... you know... However, now that we reach the end, and we see portfolios like yours, we can't help being amazed at the great amount of work you have done, and, consequently, how much you have learnt.
Thank you again, for making this amount of work much lighter, more enjoyable and certainly more rewarding.
A big kiss and... the show goes on!
