a note about timing: Consider what will work best for you. How are you most productive? Do you need structure or is the lack of structure liberating? —There is just one final due date for all of your work at the end of this semester. You have the freedom to complete everything when you would like until then. If this idea stresses you out because you know you will procrastinate and have too much going on at the end of the semester, consider completing your assignments according to the proposed schedule on the calendar, or create your own. — The beauty is the freedom you have to choose what will be most effective for you.
What to Include In your Final Portfolio (Just to Summarize)
For [can we please love this problem, please?] & [the world is like itself], include:
Writing task: the actual writing for the assignment.
Rubric: (Write a rubric for both [can we please love this problem, please?] & [the world is like itself].):
Characterize what would disappoint you and what would make you proud with a finished product
Reflection: (Write a Reflection for both [can we please love this problem, please?] & [the world is like itself]).
Here’s a chance to write about your writing. Some questions to ponder:
What brave choices did you make, and why were they necessary?
Why did you choose to explore your problem as you did? How can you justify your choices?
Was there anything unexpected that you discovered along the way?
What was difficult about the writing process and how did you overcome it?
What do you hope your audience will take away from your writing?
How would you change or improve your writing, when revisiting it? What modifications would be implemented to better “love” your problem?
“Rules” were made to be broken. Which of those from the prompt did you break, and why was it effective to do so for your paper?
What do you want a do-over about?
** Arrange it all as one Portfolio, however you want!
