Portfolio Information
Let's use a simple folder with pockets for each assignment. No three-ring binders as they are bulky and difficult to carry.
Folder one
Exercise Portfolio
1A) In the left pocket: All of the exercises that we did in class.
1B) In the right pocket: Hopper or Dali (typed). New Conclusion or Original Exercise (typed).
Your book review or book chapter>
Folder Two
Fiction Portfolio. In the left pocket: I need the final draft of your story on top. Include the draft with my comments. Include any other drafts that represent your work at significantly and noticeably different stages than either the workshop or final draft. Remember that revision is not mere extension and entails more than simply adding three more pages to the end of a five page draft and fixing small proofreading errors.
In the right pocket: Your radical revision. Three process memos: (1) A full typed page explaining the origin of your story and composition process. (2) A full typed page discussing what you got from your workshop and how you revised your paper. (3) A full typed page explaining how you developed and composed your radical revision and what, if anything, your got from the experience.
