Writing Portfolio




Writing Portfolio LEARNING GOALS: By completing this assignment, you will demonstrate how you have achieved the Core Learning Outcomes for this class, which are:  · Process: Apply writing processes (e.g., pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, proof-reading) and collaborative strategies (e.g., discussion, peer review, critique, conferencing) to a variety of writing tasks, including the use of writing as a tool for inquiry. · Focus: Develop a controlling idea/thesis for the personal essay. · Development: Through the close analysis of diverse model texts, identify strategies for supporting, developing, clarifying, and extending the focus of an essay, especially through the integration of cultural perspectives and personal experience. · Rhetorical Strategies: Analyze a variety of rhetorical situations to respond appropriately to diverse audiences, purposes, and genres. · Conventions: Identify common formats and conventions (e.g., structure, tone, mechanics) for different genres of writing, including electronic texts. TASK: Your portfolio is the culmination of all you have learned in this class so far. Your job is to show off what you have learned about writing in this course. How? By compiling your two best pieces of writing from the course, a new reflective essay, and other artifacts from the class that represent important steps in your learning this term. Your two best pieces of writing should be major writing assignments that have been significantly revised, such that they are the absolute best writing you have produced for a class. (Most students choose to do further revision and editing to the pieces they have revised for the two revision projects.) These assignments should feel complete and finished, and you might think of the portfolio as a "publication" opportunity. Likewise, your reflective essay should be carefully composed, revised, and edited -- it, too, should feel complete and finished. (See below for more specifics about the reflective essay.) The trickiest part of this assignment might be gathering "artifacts" of your learning. What counts as an artifact? Well -- just about anything! Consider including any of the following: · Early drafts of your major writing assignments, to illustrate your growth · Writer's Journal entries that were particularly useful to your writing process · Copies of discussion posts that helped you to understand important concepts · Copies of peer or instructor feedback that you found especially helpful · Copies of peer review letters you wrote Many students find it useful to think of their portfolio as sending a particular message about what they learned in this course. In the "Writing Processes" mini-lecture for unit 7, you will consider a number of approaches to talk with the selection of artifacts, arrangement of the portfolio, and approach to the reflective essay. LENGTH, DESIGN, & FORMATTING: Your portfolio should be created as a single document, in a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file. Your portfolio should contain: · Your two best major writing assignments, further revised, edited, and improved · A reflective essay that discusses your learning · Class artifacts that illustrate important steps in your learning this term · A table of contents  Use MLA guidelines for document design. This includes using 1-inch margins, double-spaced type, and page numbers in the upper right corner. Each writing assignment and the reflective essay should have its own Works Cited page, if necessary. REFLECTIVE ESSAY: Your reflective essay should be a newly written personal essay in which you discuss your growth as a writer this term. Many approaches are possible: · Highlight the most important moments for you in the class · Describe why you have chosen each assignment and artifact for inclusion in the portfolio · Tell the "behind-the-scenes" story of one of your major writing assignments, including reference to early drafts and discussion of your decisions as a writer · Discuss what growth and improvement you have seen in your own writing, as well as opportunities for further growth in the future · Look back at your history as a writer, discussing significant moments in your "writer's autobiography" Whatever approach you select, your reflective essay should be at least 800 words, and should develop its focus with appropriate rhetorical strategies. As always, quality is more important than length. Your reflective essay should feel complete and finished. Peer review in unit 7 will help you to achieve this goal.

Introduction
Evolving as a writer is an arduous task to accomplish. The process of evolution is a typical journey that one undertakes with a view to identify the gaps in the writing skills as well as to enhance the writing techniques. In fact, one of the major portions of this evolution happened during the classes attended throughout this semester.
The thinking about writing as well as the techniques that are needed both was enhanced during the course itself. It has now made me an efficient writer; the one that I retrieve the past was absent. The following is the reflection of the major events and progress points that I could identify during the class.
Preference of Assignments and Artifacts
At first, it is significant to note here that during the entire coursework, I could manage to write some appreciable content, which is submitted along with this reflection. The reason behind selecting these assignments is that they were revised and edited to become some of the best pieces of writing so far in my journey.
I managed to make them perfect because of the following the guidelines provided and at the same time, I could deploy the best innovation in me to develop the content. My focus remained intact over the subject matter as well as over the specific instructions given to complete these papers. I can see them now as my successful ventures as an evolving writer.
Story behind the Scenes
In the context of writing, it can be stated that content is not developed in a day or two; writing is nothing less than a staged drama, an artful play, behind which there are efforts of...
