Hamlet and the Portfolio Checklist
We are not going to finish Hamlet in class, so we will have to read it at home and discuss highlights in class. The later class (9-10) needs to read up to Act 3 Scene 1 (134). Your classmates made the suggestion. In the earlier class (8-9) at least familiarize yourself with the text so you can follow it more easily.
The portfolio narratives
1. The narrative will look at the 18 weeks, the themes we looked at this semester, nature vs. nurture, and how what you've learned and discovered this semester about writing and yourself, college and life, have transformed or changed you. The narrative will also look at what lessons you plan to carry forward into your lifelong pursuit of learning. Please also comment on the texts and whether or not they were helpful in this process. You can also talk about the instruction, culture of the class and the teacher.
2. The second part of the narrative looks at the writing process and what you have learning about yourself as a writer. Take two essays and talk about the planning, research and revision strategies you used. It helps to choose an early paper and compare to a later paper. Often you can more easily see the differences in your writing and a better example of mastery of certain concepts. Also discuss skills you need to improve and how you plan to address that.
I will give you a check list with the essays you have written Monday, May 14. All you need to do is put a grade next to the essay. I'd like you to make me a copy of the freewrites and any other pre-writing activities you did in class for Thursday, May 17. (If you'd like me to make the copies, I can.)
Besides the two essays, I also want you to include the midterm essay and research essay. We will work on the narratives together next Thursday, May 17 in the Writing Lab.
The other essays we've written are: The Making of a Criminal, Love, (plus presentation), MLK Jr., State of the Union, Alice Walker assignments, We Are the One's We've Been Waiting For midterm, Visual Argument, War in Iraq, Frankenstein, Trial prep, Research on Frankenstein and Walker, Hamlet reflections (extra credit for those who need it. Analyze the choices Hamlet makes that lead to his ruin. Suggest alternate choice(s) and show how his choice(s) might change the course of history.)
Students who submitted their Frankenstein essays, I posted your grades and a comment there. Good work!
