ideas for english portfolio?

Question

its for english 10. we are putting all of our assignments that we have written this year, poems, essays, etc. What i need help with is to come up with a theme. This theme has to show progression throughout the portfolio and it must all show change in you. here are some examples of what kids have done in the past...
jigsaw puzzles...each section had part of a puzzle being done,
"through the sands of time"-pictures of beaches.


thanks a lot

Answer 1

My suggestion is to look through your assignments and see if there is a dominant theme or subject matter that you wrote about most often...like innocence to awareness, (rites of passage), good v/s evil, (light v/s dark), change, life v/s death, etc.
If there is a major theme, make that the main idea of your portfolio.
For example, if you wrote about innocence to awareness, you could use pictures of yourself...start off with baby pix and progressively move to an older, more wiser you!
Good luck!

Answer 2

make some sort of plant and then add too it like fruits on a tree or something.
