Writing a Portfolio

A portfolio refers to a group of pieces of writing. For assessment you may be asked to write a portfolio of work, all related to one theme.

This should contain a major piece of writing accompanied by two or three shorter, related pieces.

For example, you could write:
  • A letter requesting a placement, a memo to your tutor and an essay or report about your placement
  • A report on a subject of interest to you, and two letters seeking additional information about the subject of interest
  • An essay, a letter to a company seeking information, and a letter to the press giving your opinion
  • Any other suitable combination of texts.

The important thing to remember about portfolio writing is that the pieces you write must be related to each other.
