Itâs the last day of class! The Final Portfolio and Reflection is due on OpenLab today by 11:59 p.m. Post it under âDiscussions/Portfolio & Reflectionâ and title it âFinal Portfolio and Reflectionâ. Late submissions will be downgraded.
As a reminder, hereâs what I will be looking for, and grading you on, for the Final Reflection:
Attention to audience. You need to have a âso what?â Donât just list off a bunch of random opinions about your writingâwrite an article about what youâve learned. Think about who you are writing for (hint: itâs not just me).
Attention to organization. This does not have to be a traditional organization, but you should have paragraphs (not just a 1,000-word paragraph, please) and some reason for why theyâre in the order theyâre in!
Evidence and analysis. If you tell me you learned something about yourself as a writer, show me proof! Â By proof, I specifically mean quotes from your own writing. All reflections should have at least three quotes from your own writing this semester although it doesnât matter from what (homework, finished essays, anything will do). Donât just drop those quotes in there and expect your readers to figure out why youâve chosen them. Explain why that passage is important to your readers and to your âso what?â
Care. Proofread. Make sure itâs long enough. As usual, you can use whatever language you see fit to use, but the words that are there should be there for a reason.
