Grade Justification
What grade do you think you've earned this semester? What evidence supports this conclusion?
1. Portfolio Essay 1 Reflection on COA Spring 2013, Professor Sabir’s English Class_______
The narrative will look at the theme this semester: Happiness via Gretchen Rubin’s THP, student selection of a book by or about a happy person and lastly a profile of a person whose happiness is derived through service. In 50 Essays and the earlier essays by Frederick Douglass, Sherman Alexie, Malcolm X, and Helen Keller we also explored similar topics.
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.
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.
Give your essays a title.

In Response to the syllabus
Challenging Semester
After reading and reviewing the syllabus, I feel that I understand the basic rules and guidelines of the class and see how the semester is going to be like. I can see that this semester is going to be very hard and a real challenge to me seeing that English isn't one of my best subjects, but I accept the challenge and I hope I am able to make it through this semester with a good grade. I would also like to suggest to make the syllabus a little more easier to understand, because even though I understand it, it was still a little confusing to me on how things were organized. I feel that it would be easier to students, like myself, to have a section clearly stating materials we would need for the class and I also noticed that there were repetitive sections in the syllabus.
