Final Portfolio
April 21, 2008 | | Leave a Comment
Due: Monday, 4/28
Please compile your end-of-the-year portfolio in the following order. Each individual draft should be stapled separately. The entirety of all the drafts and reflections and writing prompts (aka your portfolio) should be bound with a large binder clip (please no folders, binders, envelopes, rubber bands, etc. — one simple binder clip will suffice).
1. Essay #3 — final draft Portfolio Piece
2. Essay #3, draft #1 with comments
3. Any material from the revision circuit that is not written on your draft
4. Dialogue with source
5. Writing prompts/exercises in response to your blog entries
6. Essay #2 — final draft Portfolio Piece
7. Essay #2, optional draft #2
8. Essay #2, draft #1 with comments
9. Response to your writing — use of sources — from (They Say/I Say)
10. Self evaluation — 1-2 double-spaced pages telling me how you think you’ve done in course and grading yourself. Explain why you feel that is the grade you should get.
You will be graded, in part, on substantial and thoughtful revisions, so be sure your final portfolio pieces have really evolved from the first draft you wrote. In addition, I will be looking at the inclusion of each of the required texts and how they’ve met the assignment guidelines, which generally include a central point or thesis; the evolution of that thesis; adequate support through example/evidence; and strong use of language, making for a readable essay.
