Ideas for Portfolio

I am not exactly sure what we are supposed to do here, but I will give it a try. I have had several ideas concerning my portfolio theme, but three have really jumped out at me. The first is what I talked about in class, the tree idea. I think this is a good metaphor for writing, as I mentioned before, because it emphasizes the hard work or "climb" that writers have to take when they begin a piece. My next thought was that of a herd of elephants or something of that nature. I personally love elephants, and they relate to writing center philosophy in that they are very concerned with the well-being of each elephant in the group and the group as a whole. I was thinking that I could put various comments explaining this relationship along the border of my portfolio. The third option, the most girlish option, is that of making my portfolio based on getting dressed. So each page could be centered around a piece of clothing, with the more major writing issues being associated with the more important pieces of clothing. Anyway, let me know what you think.
