Use this table to organize your portfolio. Write new Learning Journal entries
with your thoughts about lessons, topics … or life in general.

Let the teacher and your colleagues know about your interests and
passions.
Show us your favourite songs, photos of your favourite places… (but don’t
forget to explain why they are special. A few words will do…)

You are unique so let your portfolio be one of a kind…
