Overall Professionalism: Copyright, Formatting, Creativity & Writing mechanics (15 points) – The E-portfolio must be easy to read with appropriate use of fonts, point size, bullets,

italics, bold, and indentations for headings and sub-headings. The suggested navigational system is present and active on all pages. The background and colors enhance the readability of the text. Consider supplementary visuals to enhance the content.

Consistency of Formatting and Font

5

Entire site uses the same: font type, font size, and color is consistent and readable for the following:

- Titles - Subheadings - Body text and links

Clean formatting: - Spacing between blocks of text are not too big/small - Uses headings/ subheadings to guide the readers - Uses bullets/ numbers to list options & these are indented

Adds a text box to the navigation sidebar that includes “Creative Commons Logo”. See example:

Writing Mechanics

5

Avoid Spelling Errors by running text through MS Word, Use proper nouns such as Internet, Google, SMART Board, PowerPoint,

etc. Avoid grammatical errors (run on sentences, incomplete sentences,

word choice) Show evidence of formal writing (avoid contractions, abbreviations, “I

feel/think”, write out single digit numbers)

Creativity

5 You include enough appropriate images/videos/inserts that add a nice depth to your pages. Elements you add to your e-portfolio website make it unique; more than a template.
