About portfolio

Dear boys,

This posting is to help a few of you who may have trouble understanding what a portfolio is...

1. A portfolio as you know, is a piece of work done created over time.
2.This piece of work as you know, is your commentary and reflection on the write-up that you have submitted for the family tree project. You are required to print out another copy of the write-up since it is your artefact for this project.
3. You wll then use the questions found in the handout entitle "portfolio 1st Entry"as a guide on how you can make a commentary and write a reflection on the family tree write-up.

Stay tuned for more ideas on how you can include more interesting information in your entry...
