Porfolio Essays for Spring 2011
Note: Some students are still not submitting their assignments correctly: pasted in the body of the email and attached. If a student doesn't send the portfolio to me correctly and when I send it back for corrections, she or he doesn't see it, the grade will be a zero.
Portfolio Narratives
For students who are interested in starting the portfolio essays now, here are the questions which serve as the introduction to the portfolio.
The portfolio narratives (These are essays)
1. The fist narrative will look at the 18 weeks, the themes we looked at this semester: women's empowerment and friendship. Talk about what you've learned and discovered this semester about writing, 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 in this class: composition and reading 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.
2. Essay 2 discusses the revision process. Use the video, Revision Strategies (posted here) as a start. Also include a scholarly reference re: the revision process like Diana Hacker (The Bedford Handbook or Rules for Writers -- the Bedford Handbook is on the desktop in the Open Lab and Writing Center).
Besides the two essays you use as evidence to discuss your revision process, I also want you to reflect on that first essay on a woman you admire and your classmate's comments, the book report essay and the social entrepreneur essay.
We have already started the narrative on revision (check past cyber-assignments). Each narrative essay needs to be 250 words minimally.
The checklist will list all the assignments, but you know what they are. On the check-list include the assignment grade. All the essays included in the portfolio are graded essays except for the final essay on TKW.
If anyone would like help assembling the portfolio bring the assignments electronically I will let you know when I am available finals week.
3. Cyber-Assignments that are not connected to one of the essays will have their own section. Start collecting them now as it takes a while to go through all of the posts. There is a section on the portfolio for these assignments.
4. Freewrites: Type your in-class freewrites. This is another section for your portfolio. Some freewrites are also cyber-assignments.
5. Extra credit. If you have written any essays this semester for extra credit they would go in this section.
6. Evaluation: There is a course evaluation for the class which is optional. I also ask if I can use any of your work for academic research.
This is a preliminary checklist.
