For your final portfolio, you will compile your representative writing from our class. This portfolio should demonstrate what you’ve learned about reading, writing, genre, and revision.
1.
A detailed, reflective, and extensive Introductory Letter for the entire portfolio (900 words or more)
Reflection on GA Exploratory Draft (200 words or more) attached below
Reflection on GA Paper (250 words or more) attached below
Reflection on Imitation Project and Essay (350 words or more) attached bwlow
A conlusion for the entire Portfolio (200 words or more)
Then, each item in your final portfolio must be annotated with reflective comments. (Make it attractive and easy to read.) What’s important is this:
The annotations/commentary from you should make it clear why this writing is in your portfolio, why you want me to notice it, or how it demonstrates what grade you’ve earned.
Use specific language from the rubric, pointing to places where we can see a skill in action, improvement in argument or expression, etc.
Identify those moments where you learned something important, and show how that learning manifested itself in more solid writing.
Identify those moments where you could identify some growth as a writer and researcher.
Write at least two comments on each major paper. Make as many comments as occur to you to make a clear, compelling case for your success.
The basic principles of the portfolio are these:
Show me what you learned
Show me where you succeeded
Show me how you succeeded
