The end of the semester!!

I am going to miss you guys! And, as I said, I am very very proud of you for making it through this difficult time and writing some amazing stuff while you’re at it.

Okay, so final portfolios are due on Dec 16th by 6 pm. CATEGORY: FINAL PORTFOLIO!  Please look at the assignment sheet under “Major assignments.”   The list of what to include is below:

Please post on Open Lab. You can submit as a (very long) blog post, or a Word Doc (you can attach!) or as a PDF. DO NOT USE OTHER FILE TYPES. PLEASE! These often do not come through and I’m left unable to open your portfolio or give you a grade.

  • FINAL REFLECTION
  • UNIT ONE (revised). Please write a 2-3 sentence introduction describing everything you’ve changed– or things you might like to change!
  • UNIT TWO (you may revise this unit OR Unit Three). Write a 2-3 sentence intro describing what you would change or would like to change, whether or not you revised. This should include:
    • Intro
    • All Four Source Entries
    • Conclusion.
  • UNIT THREE (you may revise this or Unit Two). 2-3 sentence intro, whether or not you have revised. This should include:
    • Unit Three project (you may need to include links to your webpage, podcast, video, etc)
    • Artist’s Statement.

PLEASE NOTE , IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN REVISE ALL THREE UNITS, BUT THIS IS NOT REQUIRED.


HERE is the slideshow about portfolios we watched in class.  If you’re confused about the portfolio, or if you missed Wednesday’s class, take a look!

HERE is the slideshow about revision– I suggest you look at it!

Also, if you would like to make up some homework credit, and get some help with revision, please do the assignment from last week below (it won’t count as late):

READ: “The Maker’s Eye” by Donald Murray. https://robertnazar.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/themakerseye.pdf

In this essay, Donald Murray names several different elements writers can focus on when revising their work (here, I’m talking about the words he’s italicized). This is a lot to think about in your revision, so I’d like you to choose one of these element write about how you can apply it to improve your own work. Be specific.  You may also want to discuss why you’ve chosen to focus on this element over the others! Write a blog post and post on Open Lab.

For Friday, Dec 4 and Weds, Dec 9!

Hi you guys!  It’s getting to be the end of the semester (believe it or not!)  I’ve decided to make a big change:

For the final portfolio, instead of revising units one and two, you must revise Unit One and either Unit Two or Unit Three.  In other words, you must revise two units, and one of those units must be Unit One.

In other words, your final portfolio will contain:

Final Reflection, Unit One,Unit Two, Unit Three

EITHER UNIT TWO OR UNIT THREE WILL BE REVISED.

Please note: If unit three was not turned in on time, you may not revise unit 3.

Now the homework:

By noon Friday Dec 4:

READ: “The Maker’s Eye” by Donald Murray. https://robertnazar.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/themakerseye.pdf  

In this essay, Donald Murray names several different elements writers can focus on when revising their work (here, I’m talking about the words he’s italicized). This is a lot to think about in your revision, so I’d like you to choose one of these element write about how you can apply it to improve your own work. Be specific.  You may also want to discuss why you’ve chosen to focus on this element over the others! Write a blog post and post on Open Lab.

Keep an eye on this space!  I’ll be writing a slide show about what I’ll be looking for with revision and posting it here.  


By noon on Weds Dec 9 (our last class!):

REVIEW: Final Revision and Portfolio Assignment (see: Major assignments)

WRITE: A draft (at least 400 words) of your final reflection.  You can use the exercise we did in class as a starting point.  Other starting points?  The questions on the assignment sheet or your: letter to your future self from the first week!)


One more thing: Next Monday, Dec 7, I will be holding office hours during class time.  I’ll send out a sign up sheet.  If you want to meet with me, but can’t make that time, feel free to call!
