Comments/Notes:
Important Information:
*You will need clean copies of everything you put in your portfolio! You will have points taken off each item that is not a
clean copy. You are responsible for printing your own copies. Don't wait until the last minute. I will not be printing your
copies for you.
*You will need to put your work in a 3-ring hard-back binder. You may use page protectors, but they are not required.
*Some items will be due before January 5th and will get a separate grade. You will then need to make corrections,
reprint and add them to your portfolio.
*Work turned in 1st 9 weeks will need to be revised (if necessary), reprinted, and added to your portfolio.
*The overall portfolio grade is what will be your senior portfolio grade this 9 week (15% of your total grade)!
*Your presentation of this information will be after the due date but before the end of the semester. This presentation
grade will count as a separate major grade(s).
