Ok, it sounds like your portfolio is perfect! I wouldnt worry, I have never had people really look at in on any of my interviews. Infact I actually shoved it in their faces cause I wanted them to see it. LOL

II. Lesson plans (here i have my lesson plans split by grade level... i teach art...following each lessonplan I have pics of the students working and how their finished projects) a. elementary experience (elem. newsletters that i have done) b. middle school experience c. high school experience
III.Extra Activities (here i have extra activities with pics that i have done for the school and community) a. outdoor art show b. pratt portfolio day
IV: My Artwork A. Studio Work B. Graphic Design C. Web site design
