CULMINATING

ACTIVITY
LESSON 2
Portfolio
Development
Phases
According to Johnson, Mims-
Cox, and Doyle-Nicholas
(2010), the development of
portfolios in education
normally goes through six
 1. Projection-
This is the stage where students define the
goal or purpose of the portfolio. In this case,
the purpose of the portfolio is to showcase their
best work and connect them to the course
standards. At this stage, the students also
identify subtasks necessary in developing the
portfolio. They would also estimate the time
and resources available the project.
 2. Collection-
The student collects and retrieves
as many evidences or outputs from
the course.
 3. Selection-
The student evaluates all of the
artifacts gathered using criteria
appropriate for the purpose of the
portfolio. In this case, the criteria
would focus on excellent artifacts
that are aligned with the standards
 4. Reflection-
The student makes personal and
academic insights based on the
artifacts gathered. This includes
reflections for each artifact and
reflections for the whole portfolio.
5. Self-Assessment –
Using the rubric or criteria provided
by the teacher, the student
evaluates the completed portfolio.
A student enhances the portfolio in
the areas he/she rated low.
6. Connection and
Presentation-
Students share their portfolio with
classmates, teachers, and even
parents. They are also given the
opportunity to provide feedback on
the portfolio.
In terms of management of
portfolio ideas, Johnson, Mims-
Cox, and Doyle-Nichols (2010)
provided some tips which you
may follow:
1.Set up a timeline with due dates
for installments in the portfolio.
a.Practice writing reflective
statements for each potential
portfolio entry
b.Make sample reflection sheets for
dry runs
2.Review samples of completed
portfolios with importance of
appearance and scoring.
3.To ensure clarity of expectations,
review the rubrics or scoring guides
on advance.
4.Make the portfolio process
convenient.
a. Use materials that are readily
available
b. Store folders alphabetically in milk
crates or cardboard boxes, or file
cabinets
c. Use binders
What is an event
proposal?
 Event Proposal
An event proposal in a culminating activity for Grade
12 is a formal plan that students create to outline the
details of a specific event they are organizing as part
of their final project or assessment. Culminating
activities are designed to assess the knowledge,
skills, and competencies students have acquired
throughout their senior high school years, and
organizing an event is often used to test their project
management, teamwork, communication, and
problem-solving abilities.
 Purpose of the
Event Proposal in
a Culminating
Activity:
1. Showcase skills:
It allows students to apply what
they have learned in various
subjects, such as business,
communication, leadership, and
planning.
2. Demonstrate
planning:
The proposal highlights how
students plan to organize and
execute the event, ensuring all
aspects are well thought out.
4. Develop accountability:
Students learn to take
ownership of a project and
present a clear and realistic
plan.
 Getting Started on an Event
Proposal
When creating an event proposal for a
Grade 12 culminating activity, it’s
important to follow a structured approach
to ensure all key elements are included.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you
get started:
 Step 1: Identify the
Purpose of the Event
Ask yourself:
• Why are we organizing this
event?
• What do we want to achieve?
• How does it connect to our
culminating activity or project
Example:
• Purpose: To celebrate the
achievements of graduating
students.
• Goal: To provide an enjoyable,
memorable experience for
attendees while showcasing
teamwork and event management
Step 2: Choose a Theme and
Concept
Select a central theme that reflects the purpose of
the event. The theme will influence the event's
design, decorations, and activities. Make sure it’s
something appealing to your target audience.
Example Themes:
• "A Night Under the Stars" for a graduation party
• "Future Leaders" for a career seminar
• "Unity in Diversity" for a cultural event
Example Themes:

 Step 3: Define the
Target Audience
Clearly identify who will attend the
event. This will help guide decisions
on the program, venue, and
logistics.
Example:
• Target audience: Grade 12
students, teachers, and parents.
• Expected number of attendees:
100-150.
Step 4: Draft a Preliminary
Program Flow
Outline the sequence of activities or
segments during the event. This will give
an idea of how the event will unfold and
help in planning specific tasks.
Step 4: Draft a Preliminary
Program Flow
Outline the sequence of activities or segments during the event. This
will give an idea of how the event will unfold and help in planning
specific tasks.
Example:
1. Opening remarks
2. Guest speaker presentation
3. Performances or intermission
4. Main event (e.g., awarding ceremony or talent show)
5. Closing remarks
 Step 5: List Required
Resources and Materials
Create a checklist of all the materials and
resources you’ll need to successfully execute
the event.
Categories:
• Venue: Classroom, auditorium, or school
grounds
• Equipment: Microphones, sound system,
projector, chairs, tables
 Step 6: Assign Roles and
Responsibilities
Identify the key tasks and assign them to team members. Clear
roles will ensure everything runs smoothly during the planning
and execution phases.
Example Roles:
• Event Coordinator: Oversees the entire event.
• Logistics Team: Handles equipment, venue setup, and
decorations.
• Program Team: Prepares the program flow and scripts.
• Marketing Team: Promotes the event and designs posters or
invitations.
• Finance Team: Manages the budget and expenses.
 Step 7: Prepare a Budget
Estimate
Create a preliminary budget to estimate the costs
associated with the event. Ensure you account for all
expenses and try to find ways to minimize costs if
necessary.
Sample
Item Budget Table: Estimated Cost Notes
Venue Free School auditorium
Balloons, streamers,
Decorations $50
banner
Sound system External speakers
$30
rental needed
Food and drinks $100 For 100 attendees
Step 8: Create a Promotion
Plan
Plan how you will advertise the event to ensure
maximum participation. Consider using posters,
announcements, and social media.
Promotion Methods:
• School bulletin board posters
• Online invitations through group chats or social
media
• Announcements during school assemblies
 Step 9: Outline a Safety
and Contingency Plan
Ensure the safety of all attendees and
have a backup plan in case something
goes wrong.
• Assign a safety officer or first aid team.
• Have a plan for emergencies (e.g., fire,
bad weather).
 Step 10: Write a Conclusion
and Call to Action
End your proposal by summarizing the event’s
importance and encouraging approval or support
from your teacher or stakeholders.
Example Conclusion:
“This event will not only serve as a celebration of our
final year but also as a demonstration of our
teamwork, creativity, and organizational skills. We
are confident that, with your support, this event will
be a success and leave lasting memories for all
 Final Tips:
• Be clear and concise: Keep your proposal
straightforward and easy to understand.
• Be professional: Use formal language and
ensure your proposal is free of errors.
• Include visuals: If possible, add charts,
tables, or images to enhance your proposal.
• Seek feedback: Before submitting, ask for
feedback from your classmates or teacher to
make improvements.
 Activity 1
Brainstorming about Theme and Objectives
Instructions:
• In their groups, students will brainstorm a theme and three
objectives for a hypothetical event of their choice (e.g., a fundraising
event, cultural festival, or seminar).
• Each group presents their theme and objectives to the class.
Assessment Criteria:
• Creativity of the theme
• Relevance and clarity of the objectives
• Presentation skills
 Activity 2
Since you are (HUMSS) students your task
is to make an event proposal to be
presented to your teacher. Create an event
proposal following the concepts above.
Portfolio #2-Write or encode it in a long
bond paper and don’t forget to write your
group name, section, subject, date, week
number, and portfolio number.
 Activity 3
For the next two weeks, use your time to
gather, organize, and reflect on your
portfolio. By this time, you are expected to
start making your portfolio. All the inputs
must be gathered. Write a reflection on
each portfolio entry.
Thank you!
