Collaborative Project Process Portfolio Assignment 

DRAFT DUE: Monday, April 13th, 2026. YOUR DRAFT SHOULD BE WHAT YOU THINK IS A FINAL. 

TURN IN YOUR BEST WORK SO THAT THE FEEDBACK WILL BE USEFUL AND YOUR REVISIONS WILL BE MINIMAL. 

The Assignment:

Write a maximum 10 page project report about your Collaborative Project following the guidelines below.  This assignment has very specific parts, so please write as outlined below.  I encourage you to use images, graphs, pictures from your journal and/or illustrations, but use these in ways that are engaging and clarifying for your reader and help you to explain what you are writing about.

 The goal is clarity and thoroughness of expression about the process of making your piece (hence the name: Process Portfolio). Take your reader on your journey with you in whatever ways make sense.  This is not about filling pages, it's about communicating vibrantly and thoroughly, explaining so that your reader feels like they understand you, your process in this project,  the group's process and the process of presenting your final piece and receiving audience feedback.  

In order to write a clear, engaging, thoughtful Process Portfolio:

•   Edit your video down to what you will submit BEFORE you begin to write so that your time codes will be accurate. Editing the video means getting rid of any introduction or talkback.· LOOK AT THE RUBRIC FOR SECTIONS C & B TO HELP YOU CHOOSE YOUR VIDEO MOMENTS WISELY. YOU MAY CONSULT MS. GUZOWSKI ON YOUR CHOICES.

•  Before writing each section look at the rubric CAREFULLY.

• Explain your answers and process at every step.

• Use material from your journal.  

• Use images to help you explain your ideas. Look at the sample paper you were given in class for inspiration on how to do this.

• Look at the sample paper you were given in class and use it as your guide, including as an inspiration for adding images.

•  Write your draft early enough that you can walk away from it for at least a week before you re-read your draft for proofing and editing.

• Keep your works cited list handy and add to it as you write. All images and journal entries must be in your works cited list, as well as any quotes you use or materials you used in your piece (such as a piece of music, image, video, etc.).
