4.30 Portfolio for college comp + reflective writing for rhetorical analysis essay

During the first part of class you set up the portfolio for the College Composition assessment of your work.  You set the permissions to "private" and invited both me and collcomp@kean.edu to view.  The template for the portfolio is posted at Sample Portfolio to the right.

This portfolio differs from the portfolio we have been using for class in that:
1. It contains much less of your writing (read the pages in the sample portfolio to see what to post).
2. You will paste your work on the page, rather than attaching it.

I received an invitation from every student present in class, and all the portfolios I checked where formatted correctly.

Reflective writing for analysis essay
We spent the rest of class working on the reflective writing for the rhetorical analysis essay.  We looked at the assignment sheet and I emphasized that this should be an essay.  The list of questions is a set of prompts to help you think about what you will write.  Your essay should have a focus and make a point about what you learned.  We did some group brainstomring (made a list on the board) for topics you might work with for a focus.

For next class:
Come to class prepared to work on your reflective essay for the course - where you review and assess all of your writing for the course.
Due: all writing for the rhetorical analysis unit.  This writing will include the following.
