Keeping track of my learning and progress in KS3 Type your name here My e-Profile: Starting out in KS3

How to complete your e-Profile ● This e-Profile has a number of pages suggesting things you may wish to include as part of your record of learning and achievement and the skills you need to improve. ● They are only ideas as starters. You should decide for yourself what you think is important, so that it reflects you as an individual. ● Overtype and delete the pale blue or (blue italic) text and anything else that is not relevant. ● You can add pictures, sound clips and music, video clips and scanned materials, as well as personalising the background. ● Your teacher will help you with the task. ● Delete this slide when you are finished.

Before you start ●You may like to create a storyboard about what is important to you and what it is you will include in your e-Profile. ●The next slide shows what one student thought about including. ●When you have finished, delete these two slides.

So, now you have made a start on your e-Profile What do you need to do next? ●This will only be of use if you keep it up to date, so do not forget to add, delete and change things as you move on. ●This is your record, but you need to work out how you can use bits of it to show to other people who are interested in your progress and what you are like as an individual. ●Use evidence from the e-Profile to complete an end of key stage personal statement of your achievements, successes and outline targets for things you want to improve.
