For this assignment I went through the article and pulled out the main points to make sure I included all the important information from the source. I did a little bit of freewriting to figure out the structure of my paper and to discover how I wanted to word some things. As I included information, I did not find it that difficult to paraphrase. There were a few instances where I found it tricky to find the correct synonym but otherwise I feel I did a good job. This process of summarizing information while avoiding plagiarism will help with future assignments which require a quick summary at the beginning to provide context for the rest of the assignment.

The Beginning
My ePortfolio is boring. It has not had any changes and lacks a personal touch. My plan for this ePortfolio is to come together with a clean style which is representative of me. I hope to either have a colorful style or a simple color theme. I might change the theme as the seasons pass, but pastels are always a good decision. I am not sure if I will add any pictures of myself since I do not really take pictures. My most recent pictures are either with Snapchat filters or my senior pictures, neither of which I think are very fitting.
I hope to stay organized and maintain this ePortfolio so that I can easily locate any specific writings I might be looking for. The categories will help immensely and I will most likely end up changing the names of the last three categories (Planning, Responses, Reflections).
