Putting together your
writing portfolio, often called "your book," should be fun.
However, don't make the mistake of haphazardly throwing some examples
of your work into a notebook. Take a few minutes to see how effective
portfolios are structured.
The
following Web sites are good examples of E-Portfolios:
