Directly below is a copy of the notes that Linda gave us when she came to do the porftolio presentation. Here are some details, ideas and the section headings that you will need to include. (Note: each bullet under the 4 headings is not "required" they are just ideas that would work nicely in that topic. You are encouraged to explore that area and personalize what you include).
