Portfolio Reflection
~1000 words; 3 double-spaced pages | 10% of course grade
Write a comprehensive reflective narrative that confronts all of your work this semester, and the ways you’ve changed as a writer. What did you gain as a writer as you created each piece in your portfolio? What issues or struggles with your writing did you address this semester? How did your processes, struggles, and triumphs change since you finished taking English 2100 (if applicable)? What are you most proud of in your work in this course, and in your improvement as a writer (and a reader)? What challenges do you still face as a writer as you head into future courses—particularly those in your intended major?
Discuss your revision process for assignments 1 & 2 and your own labor process in your work with your group.
You do not need to inflate your language to make this reflection a brag about the class or flattery of me (making this note based on my experience reading these).
Labor Logs—Assignments 1 & 2
Required to receive revision grade—include in a menu drop-down list for each assignment on your course website.
- Retype each revision task assigned to you (1, 2, and 3) and bold each one, then directly below each task description write how (concretely and specifically) you addressed the task.
- Conclude each log with final notes about how you worked on the paper to recover Quality of Writing points lost in the previous draft—and defending why you should now be able to recover them.
Assignments 1 & 2 (all drafts)
Include all drafts in a menu drop-down list on your course website
All material you have written for the semester should appear in your digital portfolio (blog entries as Posts and Assignments 1 & 2, including labor logs and portfolio reflection, as Pages).
Extra Credit
- Up to 4 points extra credit for producing a sample of your cultural product (individually).
- Up to 2 points extra credit for addressing your revision tasks.
Sample of your cultural product:
- Pitch to me what that sample cultural product will be.
- Create it using whatever multimodal tools you intend to use (or write it, as in a script)—the product should be post-able to your group’s artifact pitch website.
- Post it to your group’s artifact pitch website with a 250-word “artist’s statement” (required to earn extra credit)
Revision Tasks:
You have three tasks worth up to 2 points each per assignment, totaling 6 points, but the tasks are graded out of 5—meaning you can earn one extra credit point each.
