You should be well on your way to beginning your portfolio project. The rubric is in your notebook that you received on Tuesday. Please do not put this off - you should try to work a little at a time and make a really worthwhile project! If you have questions, please don't hesitate to send me an email. Below is a video I had hoped to show during our program day, but we ran out of time. Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator.
