Portfolio Management
What is a portfolio?
Portfolios play a major role in the working lives of artists, financiers, writers, photographers, and many others. For all of them, a portfolio is a collection of items selected for the purpose of achieving an explicit goal.
Each student in the Creative Writing Department at Overton High School will maintain either a printed or an electronic portfolio. The portfolio is to represent the “Best Work” of each writer. Portfolios will be used for exhibitions, contest entries, scholastics, and artist showcases. When someone looks at your portfolio, he or she should experience a “conversation” with you and your work.
Requirements
Each portfolio is to be maintained in either a printed or an electronic format. This electronic format must be determined by you! The choices available to you are infinite:
Microsoft Word
PowerPoint
Windows Movie Maker
Online Venue (Writer’s Café, Booksie, WattPad, Mibba, etc.)
If you choose to use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Windows Movie Maker, your portfolio must open with a “Letter to the Reader”. This letter is one composed to your audience which tells them what you want them to know about you as a writer. Let them know what to expect. Let them know how to approach your style. If you choose to use an online venue, your writer’s profile is your “Letter to the Reader”. Also, you must include a “Table of Contents”. Remind yourself that this table of contents is going to constantly change … so make it easy to adjust. If you choose to use an online venue, they take care of the “Table of Contents” for you.
