Here is our portfolio description:
English Composition 106 Portfolio Assignment:
Your portfolio assignment is a way for you to reflect on what you have learned this semester. Your draft is due on Thursday, December 11. Your final draft is due on Saturday, December 13 at midnight. I will return work electronically. Everyone will receive their graded assignments within a week of turning them in, but not all at the same time. I will return them as I grade them and I will grade them in the order that they reach my inbox at: hidalgoatpudue@gmail.com.
Your portfolio must contain the following:
• At least two of the projects you worked on this semester. Your group project is not eligible for the portfolio but all other projects are.
• Your portfolio reflective letter. In your reflective letter you will do the following:
1. Describe two of the concepts we have discussed in class this semester: ethos, pathos, a well supported, clear thesis, audience awareness, language, use of valid sources, integration of quotations, MLA citation.
2. For each of the two concepts selected, you will explain how you have applied them in your essays, which if needed, will be revised to make those concepts work better. When you are referring to the concepts you will cite them as you would any other source, by giving the title of the source as well as the page number, or slide number if you’re referring to a Powerpoint. For websites, use the web address of that particular page as well as the paragraph number.
3. You will select a color for each of the two concepts and highlight or change the font color it in the title of that portion of your reflective essay (please do not use yellow). You will then highlight or change the font color of the portions of the projects you are referring to. You need a minimum of three examples per concept.
