Grade Justification
What grade do you think you've earned this semester? What evidence supports this conclusion?
1. Portfolio Essay 1 Reflection on COA Fall 2012, Professor Sabir’s English Class_______
The narrative will look at the 18 weeks, the themes we looked at this semester such as: Respect, Parenting (Motherhood), Destiny-Choice, Nature vs. Nurture, Hip-Hop Culture, Tupac Shakur, Substastance Abuse, Black Power Movements, Education, Domestic Terrorism (Klu Klux Klan)-- International Terrorism 9/11, Iraqi War, Prison system.
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. Portfolio Essay 2 Reflection on revision process__________________
Look
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.
Look at the role grammar plays in the writing process. Include here a discussion of your two MCE scores.
Also discuss skills you need to improve and how you plan to address
that.
Include the Write Course Video: "Revision Strategies," the two
chapters from
Writing with a Thesis, and Diana Hacker's
Rules for Writing, in your
bibliography and also site at least one in your analysis of your
revision process. Also cite your essay(s) used as examples in this
second essay. This is a scholarly essay and it does count. There are cyber-assignments connected to the
Write Course video and the
Writing with a Thesis chapters, not to mention your responses to me re: the MCE. Use this writing where appropriate to write this second essay.
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. Essay 1 is about 250 words. Essay 2 will probably be a bit longer (250-500 words) since you are citing your essays and scholarly sources. should be
minimally
