3. OVERVIEW OF WRITING
PORTFOLIO

4. How Do You Create A Student Portfolio ?
 As a student, you may not have enough commissioned work to put on a
portfolio. Hence, your student portfolio may be indicative of your
coursework, academic capabilities and achievements. You may include your
academic credentials, like focus subjects, topics of interest, commendable
assignment work and examination transcripts. If you have extracurricular
work or explorations that you want to share, you can present them alongside
your academic work in your student portfolio.

5. How To Make A Portfolio?
 1. Identify your best work samples
 To create a portfolio, identify your best work samples and collate them creatively. Try
to maintain diversity and keep the content engaging. The person who views your
portfolio may only have limited time to go through the entirety of it, so consider
planning your layout in such a way that you can communicate important pieces of
information easily.
 2. Create a contents section
 If your portfolio has many projects, it is important that you start it with a table or list
of contents. This makes it easier for readers to navigate the content or sections that
follow. Although you want to create this section after you have all your samples
included in the order you want to display them, this is the first section that appears in
your portfolio. Hence, it is required to catch the attention of the reader and motivate
them to read further. If your document is large, then consider numbering your pages
and including page numbers in the contents section.

6.  3. Attach samples of your best work
 You want to make sure that your portfolio displays a comprehensive collection of your best
work. Decide upon the layout and format of your portfolio with this in mind. For example, if
you are a photographer, you can choose to make a physical portfolio with photographic
prints or create a digital gallery of your best photographs. If you are an animator or a
filmmaker, you may want to create an online platform where viewers can see your video
work. You can also consider creating a single showreel every year, with snippets of your best
work for that year.

7. 10 TASKS OF
WRITING

8. 1. Narrative Writing
It usually follows a sequence of
events and is written in the first
person. It can be fiction or non-
fiction. Example: a What I Did
Last Summer writing assignment.

9. 2. essays
 Essays are typically persuasive. You ask
students to adopt a certain point of view, to
pick a side, so to speak. Think of the type
of essays students must write for international
examinations like the Cambridge exams.
Because they are more difficult, essays are
usually assigned and practiced in ESL classes
aimed at exam preparation.

10. 3. stories
Naturally, stories use narrative
writing. Don’t think that only
advanced or older students are
capable of writing stories –
encourage young learners to write
them, too, even if it’s only a few
lines.

11. 4. articles
Articles are typically
expository. Think
of newspaper articles. They are not
biased and merely present the facts.
Students can have a go at this type of
writing by creating their own
newspaper articles.

12. 5. presentation
Writing assignments don’t
necessarily have to be long or
written on a single sheet of
paper. Let students
create PowerPoint slides for either
expository or persuasive writing
tasks.

13. 6. Diary entries
 You might think that keeping a diary or
journal in a second language is hard, and it
can be, but I highly recommend this form of
writing in most ESL levels. It’s a wonderful
opportunity for students to practice narrative
or descriptive writing. You may choose to
assign a one-time, stand alone entry, or ask
them to write in a journal on a weekly basis.

14. 7. Biographies
Have students write about their
favorite celebrity, writer or
inventor. They can practice narrative
or expository writing, while they do
research about someone they admire
or look up to.

15. 8. reports
 Reports tend to be expository – imagine a book
report, for example. You may ask students to
summarize who the main characters are and cover
the main plot points. Reports may also be short
research papers about an animal, technological
gadget or issue. You may also adjust the length
and topic of the report to suit your students’
level.


16. 9. Descriptive writing
The goal is to help the reader picture
in their mind’s eye that which is
being described. It’s like painting a
picture with words. This is why
descriptive language is very detailed.
Example: describing a photo.

17. 10. Persuasive writing
 It provides arguments as to why this opinion
is correct and tries to convince the reader.
It often mentions the opposing view but
provides statistics, facts or proof that
supports the opinion held. Example: an
essay about Why Uniforms Are Good (or
Why Uniforms Are Bad).
