The portfolio narratives (These are essays)
1. The narrative will look at the 18 weeks, the themes we looked at this semester, social justice and the movement for civil rights in this country past and present. We read and watched films that illustrated the dangerous time many volunteers faced during Freedom Summer. Perhaps many of you were shocked at the bigotry and racist attitudes, the terrorism and brave men and women and children, named and unnamed who worked to make democracy available to all. In your research papers you chose a person to highlight who has made it their life’s work to continue in the same spirit of those leaders 40-50 years ago who sacrificed their lives, many of them, so racist policies like Jim Crow was outlawed. Talk about what you've learned and discovered this semester about writing and yourself, college and life, which have transformed or changed you.
What have you learned about yourself this semester? What have you learned about the discipline you are studying here: reading and writing that you plan to carry forth 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. You can also offer suggestions.
2. The second part of the narrative looks at the writing process and what you have been 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.
Besides the two essays, I also want you to include the midterm essay and research essay, cyber-essays, and all the writing from Letter’s from Mississippi, including your scene. Please have a separate section for Children of the Movement.
Writing Workshop
We will work on the narratives together next week, Tuesday, May 27, 9-12 noon, maybe 1 p.m., in the Writing Lab. We will meet in the smaller lab, L-235.
Our final for the 8-10 AM class is Friday, May 30, at 8-10. We were thinking about meeting at Tilly’s on Webster for breakfast. We will decide this Thursday, May 22. The later class, 9-10, your final is Wednesday, May 28, 8-10 AM. We will meet in the Writing Center, L-235, if we don’t perform the skits this Thursday, May 22. Otherwise, Tilly’s is also an option for you. I believe Faraj and Melissa night need Internet, which means we will have to have a potluck on campus.
If you need technology, let me know 5/22. I have a laptop, a TV with VCR, DVD player and CD capabilities. Your portfolio is due Wednesday, May 28, at 12 noon for the English 1A, 9-10. If you need more time let me know Tuesday, May 27 when you come to the writing workshop. Bring all your work with you, drafts, etc.
Additional narrative considerations for the portfolio essay:
The second essay has students look at the writing process and discuss their own writing process: the topics chosen, the information used, revision strategies, writing as a process. This should include a definition of the difference between editing and revising and a value statement on the place for both in composition.
I am really interested in discourse about audience and how that shapes or determines how the writer approaches her topic.
I am also interested in discussion of the revision process, and whether or not seeing writing as a work in progress or a draft, liberates or stagnates the creative process. (Students are to use examples from their writing to illustrate these points.)
I'd also like students to think about and give at three specific ways how they have grown as writers and thinkers this semester. Each essay should be minimally 1-2 pages (250-500 words).
Grade Justification
What grade do you think you earned in the course? If you have a strong argument with proof: graded work. I will consider it.
Your essay and the attached copy of a completed grading sheet are the evidence.
Do you have any questions about writing or anything else?

Teacher Research
Can I use you writing in teacher research projects? I will give you full credit and inform you of its use. Indicate Yes or No. Please circle one.
Evaluation
In a third response evaluate the semester: teacher, textbooks, assignments, methodology, etc. Please be frank and feel free to offer suggestions.
Assignments:
Just put a check next to the assignments you have completed. I will put a grade next to the sections and assignments you do not have grades on. I will be emailing you grades for the midterm, research essay, Malcolm X’s daughter from Children of the Movement. Include the optional, The Color Purple, essay as a part of the portfolio due next week.
The narrative essays are the introduction to your portfolio which is a collection of all your writing this semester. Please give me a copy of your in-class notes if applicable. Do not give me a hardcopy. I’d like the portfolio on a CD or disk, with a completed checklist filled out.
