Portfolio+CM+30

**You will develop a working portfolio for this course...**
Portfolios encourage students to collect examples of their work as they progress through the various activities, labs, and production projects. Selecting particular items to include in a portfolio encourages students to reflect on what they have learned or accomplished and what they have yet to learn. Portfolio items may include: journal notes, drafts, photographs, audio or video tapes, computer discs, etc. Portfolios may be used for peer, teacher, and self-assessments, and to showcase selected works for parents, post-secondary institutions, or potential employers.
