Guidelines for Final Writing Portfolio
Due Monday December 19 via GDrive and BB
NO LATE PORTFOLIOS WILL ACCEPTED.
THIS IS A FIRM DEADLINE. I TOO HAVE A DEADLINE TO SUBMIT GRADES TO THE COLLEGE. IF YOU DO NOT TURN IN YOUR PORTFOLIO ON MONDAY DECEMBER 19, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TURN IN A FINAL COURSE GRADE FOR YOU.
Your final portfolio consists of assignments that have already been turned in and for which you have already received a grade this semester. You may NOT turn in the Education Narrative Unit 1 Essay or The RAB Unit 2 Document or the Unit 3 Genre Project for the first time as part of your portfolio. Those deadlines have passed.
Checklist of What Should Be Included:
- Revised Essay Unit #1 Education Narrative
- Revised RAB Unit #2 Reflective Annotated Bibliography
- Revised Unit # 3 Genre Assignment with Artist Statement (plus Outline/Plan/Storyboard/Interview Qs/Transcript)
- Final Course Reflection (written in the genre of a Letter)
REMEMBER: revision includes re-thinking, re-writing, more research, proofreading, understanding your patterns of error and editing (working to correct errors and make changes at the sentence level). Note that while editing is part of revising, simply doing editing changes is NOT revising and is NOT what I am looking for! For each revision, include a paragraph at the beginning that explains the ways in which you revised your assignment and why. Address what you learned from the feedback you received, and the suggestions you chose to incorporate (or not). If you did not revise, just simply write that you did not revise.
Portfolio Format
Remember that presentation counts! Organize your portfolio clearly and structured in the following way:
