To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing on behalf of Miss Zoe Cooper, senior at Western High School. I have had the
pleasure of teaching Zoe in the elective social science courses of psychology, as well as currently
in Advanced Placement Psychology thus interacting with her over the span of two years. She is a
productive individual, in addition to working well in groups.
Zoes experiences in psychology and AP Psychology are involved, as she achieves a lot when she
stays focused. One that comes to mind is when we learned about her personality type through the
Myers-Briggs test, which allowed me to better teach her since she was honest and forthcoming
about her natural comfort areas. In addition, Zoe was given the assignment of Building her
Brain. She was to create a visual, which labeled all parts of the brain and their functions. Zoe
created an excellent, user-friendly brain that was well constructed meeting all the requirements
and ascetically adorned our classroom. Additionally, Zoe used her creativity by making a
polarized neuron, presenting to her classmates so we could learn from her creation.
Throughout Zoes experiences in class, she demonstrates her natural talents with a positive
attitude, eager to make each class period a learning experience, while working with others. I
recognize the compassionate and persistent traits in Zoe and am honored to be a part of her
learning. I feel her dedication and motivation to succeed, as well as personable character are
deomonstrated in this senior portfolio.
Respectfully,

Mrs. Kimberly Shore

Western High School Educator
