FAQ:

How will I do this if I don't have all of my pieces or examples of my process ?
Sure you do! They are either saved in your folder or posted on your blog. If you still need to fill out the portfolio, there is still time. You will be writing at least one more piece of your choice, and we will have several writing days.

How do I save my documents?
Create a folder in your student folder named "portfolio"
Files should be saved in there as follows "lastname_firstname_title" in the case of the process pieces, replace the title section with the stage of the process (prewriting, early draft etc.)

How do I create my web page?
Copy and paste the template from above into a word document. Replace the placeholder text with your actual words. Under each piece title, type the file name of the piece that will be linked.
Save this as "lastname_firstname_web" and I'll take it from there.
