Week 14

Plans for today:

• Discussion of Final Portfolio (Final Reflective Overview/Genres)
• As this is our second to last week of class, I would highly suggest not skipping so you do not miss out on the participation/peer-review portion of your grade. Of course, coming to class is your choice always, but this is my attempt to help you out.
• Make sure to do your course evaluations!

Assignment Descriptions and Rubrics for Final Portfolio

• Portfolios
  • Final Portfolio Assignment Description
  • Final Portfolio Rubric
  • Final Portfolio Reflective Overview Template
  • Intersections: Situations and Genres Form
  • Student Learning Outcomes

Group Up, Share, and Discuss:

• Which Naming What We Know Threshold Concepts or ACRL concepts do you see as most important to the drafting process of creating your genres? Why?
• How do these sources (Naming What We Know and ACRL) connect to one another and the genres we are working on with the Semester Project: Intersections: Situations and Genres?
• How does what you have done so far with your Intersections Project connect to the student learning outcomes?

Homework for Wednesday, November 28

• Have a draft (even if it's just a few paragraphs) of your Final Reflective Overview started.
• Have substantial drafts of your two individual genres ready for us to look at together as a class. This means you MUST upload everything on Google Drive. If you are creating social media pages, post the links. If you are working on a website, publish the site and share it.

Plans for today:

• Peer-review genres as a class
• Workshop for Final Reflective Overview

Peer-review genres

• As we look through each other's genres, keep in mind audience/situation/purpose.
• Think about Threshold Concept 2.0 "Writing Speaks to Situations Through Recognizable Forms". Are these genres recognizable? What features make this recognizable for particular readers?
• Use this time to ask questions and offer suggestions.

Workshop for Final RO

Keeping in mind the student learning outcomes (all 8) use this time to start drafting your RO.

Homework for Monday, December 3

• Read Naming What We Know 5.4, “Reflection is Critical for Writers’ Development” (Don't write on this outside of class. We will discuss this in class as well as reflect on the class as a whole).
• Have a nearly complete draft of your Final Reflective Overview.
• Revise your genres (they should be nearly complete as well).
• Lastly, this isn't a requirement but a reminder to try to complete your course evaluations!

No class today as you will be presenting at First-Year Symposium (UC-Anchor Ballroom)
