Friday's Assignment:
You must come to class on Friday or it counts as an absence. You may turn in your assignment during class or to the box outside my door by 5pm.
Regardless of if your turning your portfolio in during class or not, you need to bring one paragraph from any of the assignments that you are the most proud of to read during class. This is a chance to celebrate your best work. I'm privileged to see everything that you do in this class and you should be as proud of the progress you are making as I am. This is also a chance to contribute to our class community and share something you are proud of with your classmates.
You need to quote at least one of your assignments and you do need to include reflections on all three of the major assignments. One way you could do this is to talk about an invention strategy you used and explain which assignments (LifePlace, Op-Ed, or PAA) it worked with or didn't work with and what you took away from it. Also, everything you mention in your Introduction Letter must be included in your Portfolio.
Rules to Remember:
Cite everything you use that is not your own.
Never start or end a paragraph with a quote.
Do not introduce new information in your conclusion.
Make sure everything is cited in proper MLA format.
When using a quote always explain where it came from and the title of the source (italicized if it is from a book or in quotation marks if it is from an article).
Don't panic alone! If you need help, ask for it.
Final Portfolio:
This is due in a box I will place outside my office (Corbin Hall, Room 254) by 5pm. Everyday this is late drops the whole grade down by one letter. This means if your portfolio is an A on Friday it will be a D on Monday and you will not pass this class. It is your responsibility to get it to me over the weekend if it is late, and this will not be easy for either of us, trust me.
You need to include everything on the checklist and the Introduction Letter rough draft/peer review sheet, the substantially revised essay and peer review sheet, and the handout you are filling out with all of my comments and which assignments you are substantially revising and why.
All hard copies for your portfolio must be in a binder (a skinny plastic one is fine if it all fits), all pages must be numbered on the bottom right or top left hand corner, and the pages must correspond with your table of contents.
If you are turning in an Electronic Portfolio it must be on one file (either a PDF or powerpoint).
Finals:
Your finals slot is in my office (Corbin Hall, Room 254) Monday 8-10am. You will be getting your portfolio and grade back during this time. You can come at anytime during this slot, but if you want to talk about your grade or portfolio I suggest your show up early. If you cannot make this time for whatever reason let me know ahead of time.
