4/14 E portfolio

1. All of the aspects should relate back to writing
2. Different ways to connect with writing in the portfolio: submissions, hyperlinks to previous assignments or readings, course topics, relate how these topics will be useful outside of the classroom
3. There should be a driving purpose of the portfolio, specific

• Everything in the portfolio should support this purpose
• Should be very reflective
• Examples of purposes: No such thing as bad writing

1. No min or max number of pieces required (There are some required pieces though, USBs, reflection letter)
2. Show knowledge of class concepts, bring in pieces of writing from this class and others.
3. Do not make an Others or More tab, think about composition and why things are labeled certain ways

Concepts that should be acknowledged or demonstrated (hyperlinks for textual media etc.)

They do not have to be each individually recognized but they do all have to be recognized in the portfolio

• Genre and the seven characteristics (cultural, situated, historical, dynamic, ideological, social, rhetorical)
• Discourse
• discourse
• Discourse communities (communities of practice)
• Inquiry – ask questions
• Modes – Use different modes
• learning and acquisition
• audience
• contribution
• academic discourse
• textual media – act of composing in an online space (hyperlinks, videos, \

1. Home page would be a good page to introduce the purpose, course description in my own words
