Today you go back through your Reflective Journal and Communication Portfolio and write down the skills you have now that you did not have two years ago.
If your journal or portfolio is not here, work from the Key Assignments and pieces you can still name. Your teacher will help you check your folder after class.
You make a skills inventory: at least twelve skills under reading, writing, listening, speaking, digital and creative, each with a short note naming the piece that proves it.
You only need two ideas for this lesson.
| Term | What it means for you | Real example |
|---|---|---|
| Skills inventory | A structured list of specific things you can now do, under clear headings, each backed by evidence. This is the list you build today for your portfolio. | Reading: I can mark loaded language and say what slant it creates. |
| Evidence note | One short sentence naming the journal entry, Key Assignment or piece that proves the skill. Without it, the skill is only a claim. | Pointing to a marked draft rather than saying "I got better at editing" |
One strong inventory line, marked:
Reading: I can say what an advertisement is really selling beyond the surface line, not just the slogan. Evidence: my Module 3 analysis of what an ad was really selling.
What makes it strong: the skill is specific (not "I got better at media"), the heading is clear, and the evidence names a real piece you could hand someone.
Look across the full two years of work, not just one recent page. Open the journal and portfolio side by side when you can.
Open your journal and portfolio beside you. Leave full evidenced sentences for Write It. The ratings on screen are not saved: when you finish, press Copy for my portfolio and paste them into the box below.
Build your Skills Inventory in the list below, from your Look Back notes. The list saves as you go.
Evidence must be a piece in your own folder, under whatever name it already has. Two solid evidenced lines per heading matter more than perfect prose.
When you finish, press Copy in the activity and paste the list into your Communication Portfolio as m4_l116_skills_inventory_<your-initials>. You use it again next lesson.
