Teacher Slide-Please Read  This week, students will try to download their Junior Portfolio documents from your SWIFT site and upload them to their OneDrive and or WinHome so they may work on them throughout the semester.  Teachers: Please create a Seminar tab on your SWIFT page and upload the documents attached to the so that your students may download them. The documents for Junior Portfolio include: -Junior Seminar Checklist-SMART Goals Template -Letter of Recommendation request form-Resume Template -Personal Statement Template-SLC Template-Cover letter template IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO DO THIS PLEASE SEND STUDENTS TO EITHER IVERSON’S OR LETOURNEAU’S WEBSITES  Students will complete a Seminar Check Up grade form this week as well.  Students will also continue to work on their PSAT practice booklets 15 minutes each period, preferably the start.  The following slides take students through the options to download and save their Junior Portfolio documents.  We understand that not everyone has a class set of computers. These are easier if done in small batches so that you can assist students with them. Once you are successful at it they will go quicker. Please let us know if you have zero access to computers as we may be able to find a spot for you to visit.  The reason we would like these downloaded all at once is so that they will be in the students’ possession and we will be able to more quickly finish these assignments in future Seminar lessons instead of constantly re-downloading each week.

Teacher Slide-Continued  They also take Juniors through information for the PSAT Practice.  PSATs are October 19th. Please continue to remind them daily of this date.  Collect and grade any and all late work as it comes in.

Portfolio Preparation Options Optional step 3: Print and complete documents by hand (only if steps 1 and 2 are not possible). Benefit: Low tech in case of extreme difficulties with technology.
