  1. AGENDA Welcome Back! Grab your Writing Portfolios, please! -Bellwork -Final Portfolio Grade/Assignment Info and Planning “If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works.” ~John Dos Passos 3 Jan. 2012

  2. Bellwork 3 Jan. 2012 • What’s been your favorite piece of writing so far this year? Why?

  3. You’ve accomplished a lot! • Writing pieces from this year so far: • Random Autobiography (C/P) • “Rainy River” Writing Prompt (P/R) • TTTC Rhetorical Analysis Essay (R) • (Portfolio Piece #1) (P/R) • CIR Essay (P/R) • Overnight Writes (x2?) (P) • DOS Essay (R/L) • Scholarship or Application Essays? (P)

  4. Which ones do you want to come back to and work on some more? • When you pick your portfolio pieces, you’re going to need representations of the following: • 1 rhetorical/literary analysis essay • 1 personal writing • 1 “wild card” (can be either type of writing, or a new piece of writing you haven’t submitted yet) • You need to be able to show how you’ve grown as a writer and how you’ve improved the piece- therefore, a “perfect” piece isn’t the best one to choose!

  5. Parts of your final portfolio • Table of Contents • Author’s Statement • Where you describe yourself as a writer, explain your feelings on writing in general, answer questions about your growth and efforts, and (most importantly?), grade yourself according to the rubric • Portfolio Piece #1 (with intro letter and multiple drafts represented) • Portfolio Piece #2 (with intro letter and multiple drafts represented) • Portfolio Piece #3 (with intro letter and multiple drafts represented)

  6. How will you be graded on this? • In your reflection piece, you’re going to have to explain what grade you deserve (on each piece and for the overall portfolio) and why, USING LANGUAGE FROM THE RUBRICS! • Along with the quality of your writing, you’re going to be graded on the quality of your reflection • Areas for grading: • Writing Development and Process • Personal Reflection and Growth • Quality of Entry Choices • Written Presentation/Final Product • Check out the rubrics!

  7. What you need to be doing NOW • Choose the pieces you want to improve • Work on those improvements and type up new final drafts (don’t overwrite past drafts!) • Type up your reflections on your writings • You WON’T have in-class time for much of this work until the end of the month…but don’t wait that long!! • Assignment due date: • Show me Portfolio Piece #2 with reflection on Fri. 1/13 • We’ll be in the lab Jan. 24 and on the day of your final for last typing and organization (Jan. 25th/6th, 26th/5th, 27th/4th) • The whole final portfolio is due by the end of the school day on Jan. 27th. EVEN IF I DON’T SEE YOU THIS DAY, IT’S DUE!!!
