Portfolio

The portfolio represents the culmination of the writing you do for this class. It will include at least 4,500 words (15 pages or so) of your best writing, along with the drafts of papers that I have graded previously. That amount of writing can come from two, three, or four papers. The portfolio should include graded first drafts of each portfolio paper (with my comments), and all revised papers should clearly indicate the location and nature of your revisions. Portfolio papers should use MLA style for documentation.

In addition to the papers, and not included in the word count, the portfolio will include a short account of how you see the work you've done. In that brief essay you can consider questions such as these: What problems did you address in preparing the portfolio? How did you struggle? What insights pleased you most? Were you particularly happy with the way a given paper progressed?
