Here we go! You&#39;re about to embark on an exciting journey through the fascinating world of English literature. Hold on tight as we deep dive into the concept of a portfolio and its relation to &#39;Time and Space&#39;. Don&#39;t worry, it&#39;ll be fun, I promise! 🎢

The portfolio is like your secret weapon! It&#39;s not just for keeping notes from class, it&#39;s like a vault where you can store your thoughts, ideas, and personal reflections on different texts you read. Think of it as your personal detective notebook where you can jot down your observations, connections, impacts, and opportunities while you investigate the literary world. 🕵️&zwj;♀️

&nbsp;

For instance, let&#39;s say you&#39;ve been reading &quot;Harry Potter&quot;. You can use your portfolio to jot down how you felt when Harry discovered he was a wizard, or the connections you see between the magic world and the real world. The portfolio is your space, so let your imagination run wild!

<ul>
	<li>
	Text First 📚: Start with the text and let global issues emerge naturally. It&#39;s like when you&#39;re baking - you have to mix the ingredients before you see the dough. The text is your ingredient, the global issues are your dough!
	</li>
	<li>
	Emotions Tracker 🎭: Be honest with your feelings about the texts. Did you love &quot;To Kill a Mockingbird&quot; but despised &quot;Moby Dick&quot;? Write that down. There are no right or wrong feelings.
	</li>
	<li>
	Features Spotting 👀: Write about specific features, passages, themes within the text that stand out. For example, in &quot;The Hunger Games&quot;, the theme of survival might suggest global themes of poverty and social inequality.
	</li>
	<li>
	Textual Maps 🗺: Imagine you are a pirate and texts are treasures. Create maps, use colors to denote themes like &quot;aesthetic&quot;, &quot;social critique&quot;, &quot;identity&quot; or &quot;knowledge&quot;. You&#39;ll discover new ideas as you journey across these maps.
	</li>
	<li>
	World Explorer 🌍: Consider the author&#39;s world, the world of the story, and your world as a reader. Explore the conditions that produced the text and how you can view it through different lenses.
	</li>
	<li>
	Audience Matters 🎬: Think about who the text is talking to. Does it speak to you? If not, are there other texts that do?
	</li>
	<li>
	Creativity Corner 🎨: Replicate elements of the texts in a creative way. Like, write a short story mimicking the writing style of &quot;1984&quot;.
	</li>
	<li>
	Personal Touch ✍️: Connect the text with your own experiences. Does &quot;The Catcher in the Rye&quot; remind you of your high school days? Write about it!
	</li>
	<li>
	Detail Hunter 🔎: Remember, details matter. Note down key passages, significant themes or topics, recurring trends. In &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot;, for example, pay attention to the recurring theme of social class.
	</li>
</ul>

A good global theme is like pizza, everyone likes it! It should be significant, transnational and felt in everyday local contexts. Some topics could include culture, identity, community, beliefs, values, education, politics, power, justice, art, creativity, the imagination, science, technology, and the natural world.

&nbsp;

Now, you&#39;re all set to conquer the English A LAL world with your mighty portfolio. Have fun, be creative, and remember, it&#39;s your journey, so make the most of it! 🚀
