The portfolio narratives (These are essays)
1. The narrative will look at the 18 weeks, the themes we looked at this semester,
women and empowerment.
What have you learned about yourself this semester? What have you learned about the discipline you are studying here: reading and writing that 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. You can also offer suggestions.
2. The second part of the narrative looks at the writing process and what you have been learning about yourself as a writer. Take two essays and talk about the planning, research and revision strategies you used. It helps to choose an early paper and compare to a later paper. Often you can more easily see the differences in your writing and a better example of mastery of certain concepts. Also discuss skills you need to improve and how you plan to address that.
Additional narrative considerations for the portfolio essay:
The second essay has students look at the writing process and discuss their own writing process: the topics chosen, the information used, revision strategies, writing as a process. This should include a definition of the difference between editing and revising and a value statement on the place for both in composition.
I am really interested in discourse about audience and how that shapes or determines how the writer approaches her topic.
I am also interested in discussion of the revision process, and whether or not seeing writing as a work in progress or a draft, liberates or stagnates the creative process. (Students are to use examples from their writing to illustrate these points.)
I'd also like students to think about and give at three specific ways how they have grown as writers and thinkers this semester. Each essay should be minimally 1-2 pages (250-500 words).
We will work on portfolio assembly, Monday, May 27, 9-12 noon, in A-232. If there is a final being given there, call me to find our location.

We are coming into the final stretch (smile). Congratulations! Today we wrote Essay Exam 3: Parallel Structure. Students also completed Grammar Exam 2. We didn't get to the Subject Verb Agreement Essay. Finish the exercises so we can get to it Wednesday.
If you do not understand the emailed Pidd comments, respond with a question, so you can revise the essay. Change the subject line to indicate such.
Bring in your drafts for the Social Entrepreneur essay Wednesday. Students are on their 2-3 revisions of the HTS and book report essays. Some of them are getting better.
If there are too many errors students have to write a Pidd-type essay for their essays.
Details matter. We have three more meetings left. During finals week, I will be around if students want to come in and work on their portfolios which aren't due until the Friday the week of finals.
Bring your Alice Walker handout to class Wednesday for our freewrite.
