Rationale: students will be putting together a wiki portfolio of all the work they have done until this point in the unit and this will allow them reflect on all the parts of the MLR’S we have covered in this unit so far. Students will turn in their Wiki portfolio graphic organizers. These organizers will contain ideas for ways to market students “firms” and will also contain reflections on all of the work students have done during the unit. These sheets will not be given a score but will be give feedback by the teacher and will be handed by to students for their use in their portfolio projects. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> Students will hand in a Wiki site that showcases all of the work they have done during this unit and will markets all of the work that their firm has done during this unit to the public justifying what each product was done the way it was.

The teacher will hand back their government influence pieces graded with comments by the teacher. The teacher will hand out four reflection sheets to each group. The teacher will tell student each sheet is for one of the projects they have done. (See reflection for unit projects sheet) The teacher will then instruct students in their workgroups to pass a sheet around from student and student in order. The teacher will tell students that when the sheet gets to them they must list one answer for the question the group is on and also share that answer out loud. The teacher will tell students to keep passing the sheets around until students cannot think of any more answers for that question. The teacher will instruct students to keep this process going until they fill out all the sheets their groups. The teacher will also tell students to pass all the sheets around until they have filled one out for each project. As groups fill these sheets the teacher will be walking around the room simply observing making mental notes of how students are doing. The teacher will then pass out and take students through the requirements for their Wiki portfolio. (See Wiki portfolio requirements list) The teacher will tell students that this Wiki site they are building is meant to sell their firm to the outside world. The teacher will also tell students that they need to not only include their projects, they will also need to explain why they did that project and phrase their reason like they were selling this project.
