2 Portfolio guidelines, Martinez ENC 1101

As we discussed in class, each of your three papers/projects will be worth an additional 25 points in your portfolio, for a total of 75 points. These 25 points for each paper will be awarded based on the strength of your revisions from your original draft, and on the overall quality of each paper. For this reason, it is important that you have all of your original drafts in the portfolio, so that I can evaluate the revisions that you have made throughout the semester. Total points for revisions: 75

Revisions

Reflection Letter

In addition to your revisions, you should include an informal letter addressed to me. I will use this reflection to help me understand and evaluate the work in your portfolio, so you should use this as an opportunity to demonstrate that you understand the major goals for this class, to analyze your work in order to demonstrate ways you have grown as a writer, and to point to specific aspects of your work that show how you have accomplished the goals of the class.

The length and the format of the letter are not important to me, but be sure to include the following elements:

1) Discuss your general learning in the course. This could address questions such as:! -What did you learn from the writing you did in this class?! -What did you learn from the reading you did in this class?! -What did you learn about writing that you think you might use in the future?2) Discuss the changes that you’ve made to each of your papers. This is your opportunity to tell me how

you’ve worked on each of the papers, what you learned through each project, and what knowledge and progress you think is reflected in your work. Be sure to mention each of your papers, so that I know what I should focus on when I read your revisions.

3) Finally, given the above, argue for the grade you feel you deserve for the portfolio and in the course. Remember that the portfolio grade is based on your final written products, which demonstrate how well you read, how well you wrote, and how much you revised. Provide careful evidence for the grade you deserve.

Total points possible for reflection letter: 20

Formatting

Remember that your portfolio must be bound, must include a cover, must include dividers between each of your sections, and must have all final copies labeled and glossed.

In addition to these basic requirements, this is your chance to be creative by making this portfolio personal to you. Use images and/or color to represent your growth, attitude, and/or evolution as a writer. Use this as an opportunity to illustrate who you are as a writer after this course, and take the chance to make this semester memorable. A few points of extra credit may be awarded at my discretion for the effort that you make in compiling your portfolio clearly and thoughtfully.Total points for formatting: 5
