    Abstract

    A process-approach to writing is often overlooked in favour of tests and the products of writing. The Showcase Portfolio Approach was introduced in Hong Kong as a viable alternative to more traditional writing assessments in order to encourage self-reflection, revision and metacognition for writing. Using case studies from two different school levels, this chapter outlines pedagogic practices for the classroom and for creating reflective journals in which students consider the quality of their written work according to prompts provided by the teacher.
