Questions for parents:
1. What piece of writing did you like best in my portfolio and why?
I loved the Final College Essay. I found the writing to be very organized and interesting, pushing me to keep reading as I became very intrigued and piqued my interest - was this my Son? I have never seen him write like this. I learned a lot about my son by reading this essay. I even stopped to ask him at several points of the essay on whether he wrote the essay by himself, or whether he had some help, and he responded that he wrote it himself.

2. What did you like about my portfolio and sharing and what would you like to see me improve on?
This is really the first time that I have looked through Zach's portfolio. I am seeing him develop his written skills, communicating his emotions and thoughts as he is going through his high school years and teen years. I would like him to learn how to organize his thoughts a little more - sometimes it appears that he is writing as though he is talking. I would like him to organize his thoughts and then write instead of writing and then trying to organize his writing.

3. Which of the writing traits (ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency) do you feel was most successful for me?
Ideas, voice, word choice and sentence fluency. I think he needs some help in trying to organize his thoughts and then translating that into his writing.
