Unit 7, Lesson 7.12. The last day of the course. Page 1 is the checklist. Page 2 is the reflection. Both go in the folder and the folder goes home with you.
Page 1: Career Readiness portfolio checklist
A portfolio is a folder of your own work that proves what you can do. Twelve items go in it. Six are from these last two weeks. Six are one thing from each unit, and you choose which one.
For every item, write one line: what skill does this prove? Not what you did. What you can do.
The six from Unit 7
