Final Reflective Portfolio

Final Reflective Portfolio

(150 points)

For the Final Reflective Portfolio, you will be choosing 3 pieces of writing from this semester. However, it might not be what you think. I’m not looking for final, polished pieces. I’m looking for evidence that you’ve learned an important skill that successful college writers need in their arsenal. With that in mind, you can even choose something in which you failed miserably. Maybe you didn’t turn it in at all and had to write me an email, only to realize that it’s too late. Maybe it’s something you turned in that wasn’t your best, and you knew it. Or maybe it is something you turned in that was spectacular, and you feel like you aced it! What I’m looking for here is evidence that you realized and acquired some of the Learning Outcomes as described in our syllabus for this course.

ENGL 1301 Student Learning Outcomes 

When writing, students will be able to: 

1. WRITE REFLECTIVELY: Reflectively practice and develop flexible strategies for writing, including: developing ideas, drafting, reviewing, collaborating, peer reviewing, revising, rewriting, rereading, editing, and publishing.  

2. TRANSFER: Succeed at new writing challenges by using prior experience and knowledge of writing studies’ threshold concepts to use writing rhetorically for audience, purpose, genre, and situation (among other factors). 

3. ANALYZE: Identify how writers use writing rhetorically for audience, purpose, genre, situation, and language (among other factors). 

4. USE INFORMATION: Locate, read, analyze, evaluate, select, integrate and synthesize information and evidence from credible sources. 

5. COLLABORATE: Complete activities and/or projects as a member of a team.  

6. EVALUATE: Evaluate choices and actions, and relate consequences to that decision making. 

For each of the three pieces of writing that you choose, you must explain in a one page paper (ONE PAGE PER PIECE OF WRITING-so, three pages in total) how that piece demonstrates that you learned one of the Learning Outcomes above, and you must also tie each piece of writing to a direct quote from the Naming What We Know readings, which are listed below:

·         “Metaconcept: Writing is an Activity and a Subject of Study” by Elizabeth Wardle and Linda Adler-Kassner (pp. 15-16)

·         “Writing is Social and Rhetorical Activity” by Kevin Roozen (pp. 17-19)

·         “Writing is Linked to Identity” by Kevin Roozen (pp. 50-52)

·         And I am adding this one in: “Reflection is Critical for Writers’ Development” by Kara Taczak (pp. 78-79)

Quotes and the corresponding References page must be in APA format. Please include each original piece of writing with the corresponding reflective page in a seamless document, also in APA format. So, in total, you will have a Cover Page, 3 original writings, 3 one-page reflections, and a References page. Each section you quote from NWWK will be an entry in the References page and you will use Book Section from a Book that is in an Online Database The link for that is here: https://www.easybib.com/mla/book-citation/search?q=Naming%20What%20We%20Know
