Bash Script to Compress All Subdirectories

I'd like to create simple bash script that, given a directory, compresses each directory by name, e.g.:

Contents of ~/Documents
Folder1
Folder2
Folder3

compress-subdirectoies.sh ~/Documents

Results:
Folder1.[some kind of compression like bzip2 or zip]
Folder2.[some kind of compression like bzip2 or zip]
Folder2.[some kind of compression like bzip2 or zip]

Any advice would be appreciated
