Reina is smart, irreverent, and wise beyond her years. At age sixteen, she dies. Shortly after seeing her physical body buried, Reina enters the astral world and meets her higher self. Her life just lived is reviewed instantly in detail. Afterward, she is led to a brightly lit city where Reina meets some of her family and friends, now all deceased, and her pal, Omar, who assists in her astral travels. Reina relearns her skills as an astral agent to help others in a variety of situations, both on the physical and astral planes. These acts of benefit, sometimes dangerous, are instigated and supervised by her teacher and guru, Master Eli. Reina attends a class taught by Eli designed to increase her awareness and spiritual evolution. She then discovers her soul mate, Ian, who has been dead for five years. Ian was a monk in his past life and is a gifted guitar player. Reina is also a musician, so they share their love of music. At the end of their time on the astral plane, Reina and Ian plan out the lives to be experienced for their next incarnation. They proceed thereafter to the mental plane for suspected years of blissful existence.

The wonderful effect of the portfolio process is the self-awareness that develops when kids generate their own selection criteria, make decisions, and reflect on their work. When students discuss what they want to include in their portfolio and why, and analyze which project or piece of writing meets those criteria, they are creating connections to learning far beyond the scope of traditional forms of assessment. Portfolios also increase learning because students: take responsibility for their learning; actively engage in the learning process; think about their own thinking; grow in confidence and self-esteem; set goals for future learning. Using portfolios enables teachers to be clearer in their presentation of instructional strategies. Using examples from real portfolios and successful classroom experiences, Beth and Joanne take you step-by-step through helping children create portfolios that reveal accurate assessments of their own work. Portfolios in the Classroom features: instructional ideas that extend your use of portfolios; questions throughout the text that guide you to key ideas; real student examples from classrooms where teachers have successfully used portfolios; samples to illustrate discussion of each element in the process; end-of-chapter summaries and a complete bibliography; reproducible forms for you and your students to use; recommendations for using portfolios as a tool for parental involvement. This is a book full of ideas and suggestions that you can put to use immediately in your classroom.
