a GOOD ExpERIENCE ON KEEpING a pORTFOlIO
hello! My name is Mukhlisa. now i am in my second year. Last year i had a 
good experience on keeping a portfolio. i learned a lot about myself as a learner. 
Actually it is very joyful and interesting to have a portfolio. It is like a mirror of 
your knowledge where you can see how you are growing during the year. time 
by time you become more knowledgeable.
But you need to know and work on your every 
weakness to become a good 
learner. Some tips that my teacher provided helped me a lot. Now I want to 
share them with you.
First, I tried to collect everything that need to be in the portfolio starting from 
my tests and quizzes, writings, readings to audiotapes, photographs etc.
Second, I tried to be selective. It means I didn’t simply collect things but tried 
to select only 
valuable
ones.
third, i set learning goals for myself and tried 
to achieve
them.
Forth, I gave
feedback for myself using some questions and answering them.
Fifth, I reviewed my portfolio time by time. And the last, I remember sharing 
my portfolio with my parents and my friends. it was real fun and really useful 
when i got their opinions on the items of my portfolio.
I hope that you will find these tips useful for you and you will enjoy keeping 
portfolios.
