4. Go to weebly.com and set up your professional ePortfolio. Follow this tutorial if needed.

Your portfolio needs to have the following: 

• Home Page (this is the first page people see when they pull up your page), containing:
  • A short bio (3-5 sentences about yourself; stick to third person)
  • Your three questions from last period (edit this first)
  • (If you are comfortable) A professional picture of you
• Blog page: For writing prompts and journal entries
• Projects page: For longer, edited projects, essays, and videos

Customize your ePortfolio to truly make it "yours."

5. On your home page: Add three long-term (post-graduation) and three short-term (within the next year) goals. Keep them professional or related to you as a person. For each goal, add two bullet points about how you are planning to accomplish your goal. 

6. Add your name and the link to your online portfolio to this form.
