Identify, collect and store portfolio artifacts based on purpose/
audience/goals. Interject personality into the portfolio design by using appropriate multimedia to add style and individuality to the portfolio.

Select the artifacts that represent achievement of standards/goals. Reflect on why artifacts were selected, indicating meaning and value to the portfolio. Project learning goals for the future (direction).
