Artifact #1: My Journals

As an avid writer, I have a variety of journals

used to log my dayto-day narratives.

The Secret
Garden is where I
write poems based
on dialogue I hear
around me (on the

shop in Seattle and

opened an old dresser

Shell picking is my

to do at

the beach. I chose the

following as artifacts
because its so
exciting to find
beautiful and rare
shells that can be
made into something
else entirely.
I also love finding sea
glass and tile chips in
a variety of colors;
blue is my favorite.

I believe that I
exceeded the
expectations listed by
writing detailed bullet
points about my
artifacts, while also
giving a variety of
detailed photos and
examples (the rubric
only asks for one
photo per artifact). I
included a number of

quotes about art to

allow the viewer to
think about different
points of creative
expression. I also
reviewed and gave
feedback to four
classmates instead of
three, as the rubric
asks for.
