1. Gathering Artifacts
The first step in creating a portfolio is to gather up your best and favorite
experiences.
Think about items you have accomplished and are proud of:
• English paper that turned out well
• Self portrait in Art that represents you perfectly
• Volunteering you did with Dance Marathon
• Play you wrote a review of for The Gamecock
• Service Saturday Volunteering at Harvest Hope Food Bank
• Website for The Accounting Club
Make a list and see how they fit into themes or categories - you can customize
these.
