Unit 9 · Project 1

Portfolio MP1

Assemble and present a mid-point portfolio of your strongest work from Units 1–5.

The mid-point portfolio is your first formal portfolio review. Select your 5 strongest pieces from Units 1–5 — one from each unit — and present them as a cohesive collection. For each piece, include the title, medium, unit, and a one-sentence description of what makes it your strongest work from that unit. The MP1 is presented to the teacher in a one-on-one review. Come prepared to talk about your choices.

Objectives

  • 1Select 1 strong piece from each of Units 1–5 (5 pieces total)
  • 2Prepare each piece for presentation: clean, titled, and labeled

  • 4Present in a one-on-one review with the teacher

Materials

  • Your work from Units 1–5
  • Portfolio folder or digital presentation
  • Labels for each piece

Tips

  • Choose work that shows your growth, not just your favorites
  • A piece that challenged you and succeeded is more interesting than an easy win
  • Be ready to explain your choices — 'I liked it' is not enough
  • Presentation matters: clean, flat, properly labeled work reads as professional
