Now, it is time to complete your portfolio! The final step is to write a summary of the portfolio. This should be written essay style and should be no longer than the side of one page. Remember the paragraph you wrote called “About Me”? This essay should be done in a similar manner, discussing things about you and your life, and particularly including mention of items in your portfolio. In a binder portfolio, include this summary in your portfolio after the outline but before the pages of portfolio items. In a box style portfolio, include both the outline and the summary in a folder in the box.
