My projects for the year included Leadership, Market Beef, Visual Arts and Crafts, Photography, Woodworking, Shooting Sports — Air Rifle and BB gun, Girls Buymanship, Clothing Construction, and Foods & Nutrition. I enjoy

In the beginning of the second semester of my senior year I created a binder called a writing portfolio. It held all the assignments and essays I had finished in class. The writing portfolio is like a sapling that would grow to become a tree with each new addition of essays added to it. Academic Writing: English 151 was a grueling class that paid off in the long run. It was a difficult class that was insightful into writing well since it taught me the basic mechanics of grammar and English at the same time. It pushed me to the limits of writing at the utmost potential I was able to write. Some people might say that this class is just another English class with an embellished name to it, but it is nowhere close to a regular English class. It is literally a class that can be frightful at first glance because of the amount of essays we write at a college level.

My memorable project was on becoming a doctor. I remember the poster board for my project; it was navy blue with red crosses lined around the border. The “I want to become a…” was written in black across the top and the word doctor was in the center of the poster board covered in gold glitter and lined in red glitter. There were different sections that explained the medical field and the

Which project or projects stood out to you as particularly well-done in your estimation? I particularly enjoyed group 4’s wiki on Dragons primarily because of the diversity of works that are featured in the wiki; specifically those featured in the film section which is composed of a television show, animated films (which differ in both animation method and country of origin), and live action films. I also enjoyed reading group 9’s wiki page about aliens specifically the section about aliens in video game design. In this section of the wiki, Mr.Obiesie analyzes the different alien races found in well known video games such as Halo 2, Mass Effect 2, and Xcom: Enemy Unknown as well as some smaller underrated games such as Alien vs. Predator:

The collaboration I did with my fellow peers really helped me engage with them and helped me get to know them a little better. The interview summary helped me understand the importance of writing and how it becomes beneficial to everyone no matter the career they have. I learned that despite the profession you have, writing is always going to be a necessity. The interview summary helped me process information and helped me think more critically when asking questions to the person I was interviewing. I really enjoyed this small project because it helped me use my communication skills and develop more knowledge about writing. The TEDTalk presentation project was very intriguing and boosted up my self-esteem when presenting in front of the class.

Thank you, Sharlene, for this great well written post. I think you provide us a very useful and detailed information about how to make an effective professional portfolio. I totally agree with you that we need to take our time seriously to create our professional portfolio. Creating a professional portfolio needs a lot of effort. We should try our best to show our employer or potential employer that we are serious about the opportunity they offer us.

The Health Promotion Social Media Campaign activity we did in class. Gave me an idea and experience that how to use our knowledge to influence people in our community and society. The process of developing a campaign to send out a message to other people was kind of exciting and also requiring to work as a team because I feel like people can’t just do things like this on their own or it’s too much for a single person to deal with. I feel great to be a part of the group to do a project like this.

What is the first thing that you will grab if your building catches on fire? Well, let make up a scene. You in your house and you are getting ready to leave your house when all of a sudden you hear a lot of people yelling fire, fire, fire. Of course, you start to panic but then you check outside your apartment and then you smell that heavy air in your lungs. However, you begin to think of what is something you will take out of your home.Well, is it not a folder or a bookbag full of important things. Of course, we don’t want to be in that situation, but when you think about it isn’t a portfolio needed and it important. Well in that same matter having an academic portfolio is, in fact, important. An academic portfolio presents our best work

Our Graphic Design Portfolio is meant to not only help myself but other people who are looking at my skill set. In order to show this, the project must contain artwork from each Adobe program such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, and Animate. Photoshop can either show our abilities in editing photographs, how we can create gifs or simply how we can use it to draw. Illustrator is mostly about vector drawings and shows how we can use it to create 3D images or simple logo designs. Indesign will show how well we can format, through creating simple menus or as complex as creating magazines. Animate, on the other hand, will show how we can also create moving images, short animations and can also be used to create gifs. Each piece of work will reflect my artistic abilities, creativeness, art style as well as my strengths and weaknesses in each program. Through this information employers, colleges and other companies will be able to see where I am, skill-wise, and what I am capable of creating, and overall seeing

As I began this service-learning portfolio Project I felt as though I was going to have a very difficult time organizing and recording all the information to produce my last project. I never thought that breaking it down into large, weekly portions would allow me to better understand the project as a whole. As I completed my first service-learning worksheet, I felt as though I did a very good job until I received my grade. Unfortunately, I misunderstood the directions and did not add information relevant to the specific topic. As i completed the following two worksheets, I chose the specified subject and lesson that I wanted to create my entire portfolio on and felt much more successful after receiving those grades. Creating this portfolio

Each project had its own uniqueness and required us to think differently at each step. My favorite project was 30-20-10. It was the first project I had to do , and it had the most work. It was a really time consuming project but it was worth the time it took. I was never too good at photography and I was really nervous when i got to know that the first part of the project involved clicking pictures of patterns around the campus. I had so many mixed feelings but I was determined, and I wanted to do really well. I remember spending a whole day just walking around the campus, trying to find the perfect patterns and giving my best at clicking good photographs. What I also liked a lot about this project was that we had the freedom to choose how we wanted to display our

The most meaningful project I did this year was oil pastels. This was the most meaningful project to me because I based it on my favorite movie Peter Pan. I chose to base my art on this movie because I grew up watching this my whole life. I got the idea from watching the movie and noticing the different colors in the sky and I realized I could use it for my project. In my project I added the moon and a pirate ship in the sky background.

Career portfolio shows your past record of the practical application of learned knowledge, abilities, skills, capabilities and qualities to represent your potential. It provides 'evidence' of your potential by demonstrating what you accomplished in past (Forbes, 2015). Career ladder shows structured sequence of job positions through which a person progresses in an organization (BusinessDictionary.com, 2015). The career portfolio is useful evidence to prove potential in yourself as employee or employer. So one can use career portfolio to convince employer. The career portfolio is important to me because it creates an advantage for me when I am applying for new jobs. Career ladder, according me, is important when I am planning my future in one organization only. Currently I'm looking for new opportunities so I will choose career portfolio over career ladder but once I will find that opportunity, I will start working on my career ladder as my progress in the same organization.

A professional writing portfolio is a very useful tool for a writer. It helps the writer prepare well for their entry into the professional world. A portfolio also allows the writer to be more organized with their work. A website, “Rhetoric and Writing”, talks about the importance of having a Professional Writing Portfolio. It discusses how many professionals/superiors will use a portfolio to assess a writer's aptitudes and skills. The site also discusses how portfolios are important for job searchers because they are more personal, and much more insightful, and therefore a better way for employers to evaluate interviewees than a regular resume. (Rhetoric) It provides an exhibition of skill and organized set of the writer's work. Not only
