Writing Portfolios A Bridge from Teaching to Assessment

Sandra Murphy and Mary Ann Smith explain how preparing writing portfolios can successfully bridge the gap between the teaching and assessment of writing by students. Their description of what's involved -- from deciding on purposes, to making the selections, to developing evaluation criteria -- focuses on writing as a process, and emphasises the importance of encouraging students to become active partners in fostering their own growth as fluent writers.Murphy, Sandra is the author of 'Writing Portfolios A Bridge from Teaching to Assessment', published 1980 under ISBN 9780887510441 and ISBN 0887510442.
