History portfolio projects require students to analyze history from different angles and to write from different viewpoints. Not only that, but portfolio projects expose kids to all kinds of different writing genres and ensures that kids get practice writing in many different styles. Because of this, history portfolio projects are a powerful writing tool. Some students may love creative writing, while others love the idea of marketing/advertising or non-fiction writing. By requiring a number of different types of assignments, students practice and improve a number of different writing styles and skills. The last benefit is that the students create a final product that they can really be proud of! I know my students were really excited to share their final products with each other.
