Introduction


Hey, how are you guys doing? Great? It is almost the end of the year, and this that I am sharing with you is the final portfolio for my Writing Lab I course. 

All these works is what I had done for semester two in Writing Lab I. I wanted to make this portfolio public, because later on, I can go back and look at what I have done. These writings are not masterpieces, but I did put full effort in this, so I hope you like it.

This Online Portfolio contains
  1. Annotated Bibliography - I like this writing because this was easy-going, and there was some of my style was in it; it was easy because you just need to write a summary and an analysis for each citation
  2. Case Study - this was a study of a broken-hearted girl and i really enjoy, because I can try to be a fake-reporter and pull out all the dirty secrets of it. 
  3. Movie Script Project - this was a group project, it was a tough time, we had more than one months to do it; I think this work was not that great, not full-effort yet, but I would probably use this one to show how cooperation is really important in group work..
  4. In-class Writing Assignments - these are great advantage for me, because I get to write in a limited periods of time and get feedback from it of how I write; from there, I can improve my writing in test and exams
It was a great pleasure to be in this class, and my goals are to join course that has awesome assignments like this and an fantastic teacher like that, as the same as before, write more and more even some of it is lame, and write some songs. Enjoy your life!

Semester II Project: Writing Portfolio

Due Date: Friday, June 4, 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 a whole school year 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 second 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 future goals are as a student writer
  4. Annotated bibliography (2 March) – include the assignment sheet, rough draft of annotation #1, the rough drafts of annotations 2-4 with feedback, the peer review feedback you received, the final draft containing all eight annotations and your grade sheet
  5. Case study (23 March) – include the assignment sheet, the rough draft with feedback, the final draft and your grade sheet
  6. Film script (17 May) – include the assignment sheet, approximately 4 pages of the rough draft with feedback, the same 4 pages of the final draft and your group’s grade sheet
  7. In-class writings – choose 2 of the 4 in-class essays you will compose over the next five weeks and include them in the portfolio as representations of what you’re able to do as a writer in a limited period of time
