Narrative Writing Portfolio 
Narrative Writing Portfolio
You will create a self-paced writing portfolio that includes 35 selections out of 50. Your portfolio will include written elements (see below) and artistic components. For the artistic component, you will create a cover for your portfolio. You may make a collage for the front of your portfolio (I suggest using a small binder or folder). You may draw on the front, or you may in any other way express yourself artistically. You should also include artistic elements for each of your writing entries.
