10 portfolio posts from Writing IV (2009-10)

Last year, students in sections 1A and 1C built their first and second semester portfolios in separate blog posts. The ten listed below are from second semester (Writing IV, 2009-10).

Though you'll be building your portfolios on individual blog pages, using a modified portfolio template, I still hope that perusing the ten portfolios listed below will give you an idea of what you can do to showcase and reflect upon your own work in Writing III and IV this year.

§1A
§1C
Please look all ten over, and let your classmates and peers know what you see and think in a comment on this post. Here a some questions to get you started thinking about portfolios.
  • What impressed or surprised you most as you perused those 10 posts?
  • What concerned or puzzled you most about those portfolios?
  • What did you notice that might strengthen portfolio presentations?
  • What did you notice that might weaken portfolio presentations?
  • What else would you like to know about developing your own portfolios?
I look forward to reading lots of thoughtful and though-provoking comments on this post.
