Writing Portfolios
As I mentioned in class, your final writing portfolios with consist of 3 different sections, and each section will contain 5 assignments. The 5 assignments for each section are as follows:
· A functional outline of a published piece of writing
Your functional outlines are based on the handouts I gave you in class. You may analyze the individual sentences and paragraphs directly on the reading itself, and you may answer the questions on the back of that paper.
· An outline for your original piece of writing
Following the directions I gave you in class, your outline should cover the main ideas that you plan to express in your personal writing. Please answer the following questions:
- What do I want to write about? / What is my topic?
- Who is my audience?
- Why am I writing this? / What do I want my readers to take from my writing?
Next, please write down the basic structure of your original piece of writing following the system we discussed in class:
I. Topic of paragraph #1
a. Important point #1
b. Important point #2
c. Important point #3
II. Topic of paragraph #2
a. Important point #1 (etc...)
· A rough draft of your original piece of writing
The same rough draft that you handed into me for homework should be included in the portfolio. You do not need to make any modifications or changes to the draft. Simply include it in the portfolio as it is.
· A list of revisions that you plan to make for the final draft
Please make a list of all the revisions you plan to do for your final draft. You do not need to write in full sentences or in full paragraphs. This is simply a list. It should include all the major changes you plan to make when you write your final draft. These changes should be based on both the peer feedback you received from your classmate and on the feedback that I gave you on your rough draft. It may also include any other meaningful changes you wish to make.
· Your final draft
The final draft should be typed and should include a title.
