This Revision Portfolio provides a formal space for you to look back over the semester, to reflect on your learning, and to show the ways in which you’ve developed as an analytical, critical reader of fiction. For your final project in L204, you will submit a set of carefully curated and revised documents combined as a single Word document or pdf, based on revisions of Long Essay
1. This portfolio must demonstrate that, after a semester of learning in L204, you can craft analytical, interpretive arguments about fiction and deliver them in thoroughly revised formal writing. Your portfolio includes the following items:
1. A cover. Make this as fun or as boring as you want. It should at least have your name, the date, and a title.
2. A formal opening statement (500 words) that includes an introduction and 2-to-4 body paragraphs answering:
what are the 2-to-4 key things about writing and literary analysis you are taking from L204?
why do you think they’re significant to effective reading, writing, and analysis?
how did you learn to develop these skills this semester?
You must also support your claims with evidence by unpacking details. Point me to examples where I will see evidence of your learning in the material you’ve included in the portfolio (elements and passages where I will see a specific skill as it gets stronger between drafts). In short, in this opening statement you should tell me what to look for in the documents you’ve included in your portfolio, and it should demonstrate that you’ve met the learning objectives articulated in the syllabus.
3. The first draft of the essay you are revising. Make sure you save a copy of this before you start changing it.
4. A revised version of your essay. This should be at least 1000 words. It should be annotated with comments showing where you have changed things and explaining why. Your comments should show me that you have made substantial, meaningful changes.
Criteria for Evaluation
Does the revised essay make a strong analytical argument about the texts at hand, employing both the tools for literary analysis and the tools for editing and revision that we have discussed this semester?
Does the revised essay show substantial, meaningful changes from the first draft, using the comments feature in Word (or in a .pdf reader) to carefully annotate the revisions?
Does the opening statement discuss specific skills and analytical tools, avoiding generalizations by offering details and examples?
Does the entire portfolio demonstrate attention to detail by including everything listed above, being generally error-free, and meeting all word counts?
