Topic: Your journey developing as a reader and writer throughout our course
Genre: Process-presentation portfolio
Format: MLA
Description: We have utilized choice, variety, and reflection in our course to develop as readers, thinkers, and writers. In Unit 1, we focused on classifying your identity. In Unit 2, we focused on comparing and contrasting how your identity influences you in different situations. In Unit 3, we focused on analyzing the causes and effects of an institution/organization/program. In Unit 4, we focused on researching and arguing for solutions to stop the marginalization of a group. We now turn our attention to compiling a final portfolio to demonstrate, analyze, and argue for your development as a reader and writer throughout our course.
Your Task and Audience: As our time together draws to a close, you will construct a final portfolio demonstrating both your learning processes and the products of those processes. In the final portfolio cover letter you will identify and explain
Your development as a reader and writer throughout our course
Include your challenges
Include your successes
Your experience working in your expert group and how you actively participated in the group
The successful and unsuccessful decisions you made as a student
How one reading assignment represents your best active reading
How one essay represents your best writing
In what areas of reading and writing you need to or wish to continue developing in future classes
Remember, in order to identify and explain the above elements, you must address the questions what, when, how, and why. For instance, what example do you identify as a struggle in your development as a reader, when did you struggle, how did you struggle, and why did you struggle? While identifying and explaining the above elements, you will let “artifacts” serve as evidence to support the claims you make. These artifacts may include anything from our course, such as your group or class notes, online learning journal or vocab lexicon posts, reading and writing assignments, photos of you and your group, peer-review drafts, etc. You will attach these documents to your cover letter as evidence. The final portfolio will be evaluated for both content and presentation, and it should be prepared with your instructor as the intended audience. You may use first-person personal pronouns (such as I, me, my), but you should strive for accurate academic grammar, MLA format, and other elements we have explored throughout the course. Consider using headings to structure your portfolio.
Purpose: The final portfolio asks you to reflect on, identify, analyze, and argue for your learning processes and products over the semester’s span so that you may view your reading, thinking, and writing development as complex, active, recursive processes occurring over time through practice, patience, and dedication. The final portfolio helps you see in what areas you have developed and on what areas you want to continue focusing as a developing scholar and rhetorician. Lastly, the final portfolio allows you unique control to help persuade me to your dedication, hard work, and overall development.
Requirements of Particular Importance:
Portfolio Prose:
Develop a final portfolio that addresses the 6 elements found above under “Your Task.”
Use a complete introduction, TEA body paragraphs, and conclusion in the cover letter.
Use your own work as evidence to support every one of your claims.
Eliminate all fused sentences and comma splices.
Do not use any contractions or the word “you.”.
At the very bottom of your portfolio, include a Works Cited page if you cite any sources other than your own.

English was one of the most difficult subjects for me in high school and not because I was very bad of now that I think about it but because I dreaded reading. During English classes the initial 30 minutes were always a nightmare for me because we were supposed to read aloud any book. I feared that and made every attempt to skive English classes. I did not have confidence in my reading skills and I knew for a fact that I was below……………………………..
