E-portfolio+Revisions

__ Problem Statement: __
The E-portfolio graduation requirement needs to be removed because it does not fairly represent the students skills acquired throughout their high school career. The E-portfolio greatly affects student moral in their third year of high school; they are under enough stress as it is. Some of their burdens include final exams, the junior British literature term paper, applying to colleges, studying for SAT's/ACT's, and preparing for the senior project during their final year. The hope for students in the near future is for the E-portfolio to be discontinued, so that they can concentrate on these more important issue at hand. With perseverance, determination, and hard work there is hope in the future that the E-Portfolio will be removed from North Kingstown High School's current curriculum.

** Media Advisory ** May 21, 2010 Brendan Hoehn, (401) 555-5555 Fight Against Electronic-Portfolio ** FIGHT AGAINST ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIO ** North Kingstwon, RI-More than 500 juniors of North Kingstown Highschool are expected to turn up to walk out of their Electronic Portfolio presentations on June 6th(?) according to Brendan Hoehn and William Moeler, leaders of the Fight Against Electronic-Portfolio(FAEP).
 * CONTACT: **

The FAEP has planned for each junior that is able to present their E-portfolio to walk out when they start presenting their E-Portfolio on June 6th. The FAEP is hoping that this will show the school board that the students are not happy with their current graduation requirments and that they want them changed from the current form of E-Portfolio.


 * WHO:** Juniors of North Kingstown High School


 * WHAT:** Walk out


 * WHERE:** 150 Fairway Ave.


 * When:** June 6th 2010/ Starts when the first Junior Presents/ends when everyone walks out

The Fight Against Electronic-Portfolio organization is an organization dedicated to putting an end to the E-Portfolio way of graduating. The FAEP wants their to be a different way of graduating one where the students are not evaluated on the way they perfom on five assignments. But instead evaluated on who they are as students or on pieces of work that the students pick themselves.
