This checklist can serve as the table of
contents. Put a check next to the items to show inclusion in the portfolio. Use
as the second page to the portfolio, after the cover sheet. Where there are
questions for the section, students can post the answers to the narrative
there.
Number the pages with a header.
The portfolio is due between Friday, May 23-Wednesday,

Portfolio Narratives (250 words each, minimally).
1. The first narrative will look at this short term class, the themes we discussed: compassion, love, loss and the power of a poem to lift one literally from sorrow into the light. . . . Talk about what you've learned and discovered about writing, college and life, which have transformed or changed you.
What have you learned about yourself this semester? What have you learned about the discipline you are studying in this class: composition specifically, the literary arts, which you plan to carry forth into your lifelong pursuit of learning?
Please also comment on the texts and whether or not they were helpful in this process. You can also talk about the instruction, culture of the class and the teacher.
2. Use two essays as evidence to discuss your revision process. Don’t forget to include it in the works cited page. Use a scholarly source as well to talk about the revision process. I gave you two handouts at the start of class. Also use your grammar style book (Rules for Writers, OWL Purdue etc.) There will be at least two sources, perhaps three used for this essay.
Checklist
The checklist will list all the assignments, but you know what they are. Post the entire portfolio for each section. On the checklist include all the assignment grades. If for some reason there is an outstanding assignment, just include it in the portfolio and note that it needs a grade.
All the essays included in the portfolio should be graded essays: Short Fiction, the Novel (1), The Play, Poetry, Literary Event Essay, plus the Final Essay (student choice re: genre).
