Introduction

Thank you for visiting my first online portfolio for my Writing Lab Course!

All these writing is all done by me in the first semester of my freshman year. I am very proud of myself after looking all of the writing and editing. I believe every time I do an essay for this class, either working alone or in a group work, I put all my effort and concentration to create the best work. I know it’s not that great like a masterpiece but it’s still my best, so except it.

This Online Portfolio contains:

1.     Opinion Essay – I think this essay is my second best out of all my work.

2.     Process Essay – Best quality I could make, because I am a girl and I am familiar with it.

3.     Writing to Publish – In my life record, it’s the second magazine that I work

4.     Lab Report Essay – I don’t think this is my best  because it did not stuck in my head for long enough, so I can take time to fix it, in the middle of the exam week. [Voted most confusing writing to me, trust me, I am an artist, not a scientist]

Even though I have many course of my life in my personal living, still in this class, I work with my friend, I only hope that my academic writing improve to be ready for the next three and a half year of high school, and later college. [Goals: write more and read more, any suggestion?]

Thank you again. Hope you have a nice upcoming new year. 

Semester I Project: Writing Portfolio

Due Date: Monday, January 16, 2012 (no late portfolios will be accepted)

Instructions:
A portfolio is a collection of work designed to demonstrate a person’s skills. Because you’ve spent two quarters completing a variety of written assignments, this is an ideal time for you, as a writer, to put together your own portfolio.

For the assignment, I will be assessing you by evaluating your progress as a writer throughout the first half of the school year. To do this, I will be looking at all of the writing you’ve done this semester to determine how you’ve responded to feedback from me and from your peers to improve your writing and how you’ve learned from that feedback not to make the same errors in subsequent assignments.

You are welcome to print out all of the work you’ve done and turn in your portfolio in a folder or binder or you may submit an electronic portfolio (a zip file or a website or blog containing all of your written work).

Your portfolio should contain the following items:

1. Cover page – should be interesting and eye-catching
2. Table of contents – list all of the documents included in your portfolio
3. Introduction – a brief evaluation of how you’ve progressed as a writer this semester, discuss your opinion of your performance on each assignment, your opinion of how you’ve improved as a writer and what your goals are for the next semester
4. Opinion essay (11 September) – five paragraph essay stating your opinion about a controversial topic, include the assignment sheet (on Edline), your rough draft, the peer review questionnaire filled out by a classmate, your final draft and your grade sheet
5. Process essay (2 October) – five paragraph essay explaining a step-by-step process, include the assignment sheet (on Edline), your rough draft, the peer review questionnaire filled out by a classmate, your final draft and your grade sheet
6. Publication (25 November) – group project demonstrating your writing on a variety of topics, include the assignment sheet, at least one example of your own writing from the publication and your grade sheet
7. Lab report (18 December) – written assignment on a topic of your choice following the format of a lab report, include the assignment sheet, your rough draft, peer review questionnaire filled out by a classmate, your final draft and your grade sheet
