Portfolio Assignment Outline

Rhetoric & Composition Portfolio



Create a portfolio showcasing the work you’ve done (hopefully) this semester. The portfolio should represent the breadth of work you’ve accomplished by providing a retrospective of your final drafts.


Tenets of the portfolio:


A. Each copy should be a clean, fresh and newly edited version of each assignment.


B. In cases of total desperation, you may include a marked copy of an essay (will result in a point deduction, but will be less of a point deduction than not including it at all).


C. Should be created in some kind of binder or fancy folder. Can be three-hole punched, clasped, sheet protected, etc. I don’t care what you use as long as it is organized and presentable.


D. All names (mine and yours) should be removed from the tops of papers. Only assignment titles and dates should be included.


E. Your portfolio should contain some type of cover sheet or title page identifying who you are. Preferably something I can remove so that it doesn't look all ghetto when I scratch it out, or white out it, does anyone even use White Out anymore?


F. Put them in the numeric order as it appears on this blog. Formal Essays and Journals.  


G.  Write one additional piece: three paragraphs addressing the following:


1. What did you find most beneficial about the course? What most makes this course helpful or enjoyable?


2. What did you like least about the course? What parts of it did you dread?


3. What could I do to improve the course & myself for next semester?
