Letter of introduction to the reader of my portfolio
Write a letter of introduction to the reader of your portfolio. Share with them the story
that your portfolio communicates by addressing the following questions:
 What am I learning?
 How am I learning?
 Why am I learning?
 Who am I becoming? What is a realistic goal for next year? What can I do to
achieve this goal?
 What does my portfolio as a whole reveal about myself as a learner (and/or
team player, member of my class/community, thinker etc.)?
Dear whoever may be viewing my portfolio,
