I can do it, can you?

Have you ever had to make a portfolio? Maybe as a school project, or for a job? The portfolio itself is intended for a particular audience but could serve a number of different purposes.

A portfolio developed for a writing course typically contains examples of a students best work in that course, including notes, outlines, along with his or her own assesment of their performance in that course.

When it comes to organizing a portfolio, Norton's Field Guide to Writing states that one should label everything. Make sure your materials are arranged in chronological order, starting with your earliest material and ending with the final draft on top.

The most important part of your portfolio is your written statement reflecting on your work. It is your chance to think about and say what you have learned.
