The Graduate Portfolio is a guideline used by CSI high school students to help become successful graduates and accomplish as much as possible. It includes a collection of work from each class and helps identify strengths and weaknesses. It has helped me realize what I need to work on as well as the improvements I have made. I have learned that I need to work better in groups and collaborate. I also have to participate more often in all my classes and study for tests. I realized I am doing better in class and getting my work done. I am slowly improving my participation and feeling more comfortable doing projects and homework. The graduate portfolio has helped me learn about the way I learn best and what study habits I am following. I am writing two essays for the portfolio about how I am becoming prepared to graduate and becoming more aware of world events and global dynamics. This class in particular has helped me because I am learning about other places around the world through the internet. This is making me an effective user of technology and literate for the 21t century.
