Your writing portfolio will consist of five to seven papers that total a minimum of twenty finished pages.  The portfolio will contain:

·         all your finished texts (minimum of twenty finished pages)

·         all drafts of your texts

·         commentaries about your texts

·         in-class activities

·         other class materials

Do not throw anything you do for class away.  Everything will go into your portfolio, and it is your only grade for this class.  See the portfolio assessment rubric for more information on the course's grading standards.

Your final paper will serve as a portfolio introduction.  You should have sections divided for each individual unit plus a section for in-class activities and any other materials you wish to include.
