Final Portfolio
Your final portfolio is a way for you to take stock of everything you’ve produced this semester (and feel proud of yourself) and to reflect on how this experience will have a lasting effect on your career. The portfolio will contain the following pieces in this order:
1. A 4-5-page (1,200-1,500 words) cover letter, where you reflect on what you’ve learned about your writing this semester—the writing itself and your writing practice—and draft a plan for sustaining your writing practice over the summer and beyond. Will you continue with the same schedule you used this semester? How much time off will you take during the summer? (And please take time off during the summer!). Will you try to write more than five hours a week this summer if you’re not in school and/or working? What projects are you seeking to complete? How will you try to replicate the accountability we’ve had throughout this course?
2. Your original Writing Practice Plan and the revised version.
3. Your three workshopped pieces and your memo for Workshop #2.
