ePortfolio
This is a continuation and completion of the portfolio created in Engineering Design and Presentation. However, this one has some questions that must be answered on the ePortfolio website. This one has a more structured outline of questions that must be answered. It also includes many items that you will be required to do in the senior English class. This is designed to help you get into the college of your choice and be prepared for your post-secondary future.

“Days” explained
Day means approximately 1.5 hours, or the 2 class periods you have the class for. These should be consecutive so that you are able to complete the work.
This timeline is specific and we need to “stick to it,” as we have a lot of projects to accomplish this year. So you need to be diligent in getting your work all done by the due dates.
I will not be checking your work daily, I will check it weekly. You MUST be able to self-direct yourself now. This is what employers and colleges require, if you want to succeed.
