This assignment is a reflection of your journey as a developing writer and researcher

 Your portfolio Assignment is worth 50% of your semester’s grade and is due on Wed. April 9th before class.

This is obviously your major assignment for the semester. You will work on putting together and designing your portfolio throughout the semester, and because this is an online project, I will be able to assist and guide you with your portfolio as the semester progresses. In the final week of classes you will have the opportunity to present your portfolio to me.

Your portfolio is a collection of your work assembled to demonstrate your range, variety and skills with composition and critical thinking. Your portfolio is an online assignment, and accordingly you will need to create a web page for this assignment, you should  use this tutorial on web space design.

If you do not already have a web space, you can begin one with Google Page Creator.

Your portfolio will include:

• Visual Composition
• Writing Profiles
• Documentary Summary
• Your Position Paper

As with all assignments, your portfolio should include an introduction which overviews the contents by describing each element of your portfolio.

For each assignment you will also write an explanation of your approach to the assignment and some reflective writing on your results.
