Your Final Portfolio project will be submitted a bit differently. Each week’s OpenLab post will count as a part of your Final Portfolio submission and will be graded as such, so make sure you are paying attention to the clarity and structure of your writing.
WRITE: Write a paragraph explaining what you would do to revise Unit 1, if you had the time (or why not). You need to mention what you got from the feedback you received (from me and from your colleagues), and why you would incorporate it (or why not). Post this to OpenLab.
REVISE:Ā Spend some time revising your Unit 1 essay. You have until Dec 19 to re-submit this paper for an updated grade, but I encourage you to get to this earlier if you want to re-submit other assignments as well.
REFLECT: Part of your Final Portfolio grade includes writing a letter to yourself reflecting on what you’ve learned this semester (due Dec. 19). This letter should be at least 750 words.Ā Here are some questions to start thinking about before you begin writing this final reflection (it may be helpful to re-read some of your old OpenLab posts, as well):
- What have you learned about yourself as a reader, writer and scholar this term?
- How will you be able to use what you have learned this term and transfer that knowledge to other writing situationsāeither in college or in your community?
- Ā How would you compare/contrast work you did early in the semester to now?
- What was your favorite/least favorite assignment and why?
- What are some notable lessons that have stuck with you after completing certain assignments?
- What changed in your writing (reading, thinking) as the genres and assignments changed?
- Ā How did you make decisions in your assignments about content and design?
- What were your early assumptions/beliefs about yourself and writing? Have they since changed? Explain.
- What was your experience revising assignments?
- Was there any peer feedback that stands out to you and why?
- Ā What was particularly challenging for you in our course this semester and how did you overcome it (or attempt to)?
