Compiling a Portfolio

As you grow up, things get complicated and competitive. Artists, designers, writers, all have to make portfolio to keep together their work that they may need to show off. It's like a scrapbook of their art and talents. When you start to write, it's kind of like keeping a portfolio. You ask yourself why your writing one, who will read your portfolio, what is your genre, what kind of stance is this project, and how will your portfolio will be published? When writing a portfolio you should include things like free-writing, outlines, drafts, writing assignments, source material, tests and quizzes, responses, lecture notes, and reflections on your work. There is also two types of ways of organizing a portfolio; paper and electronically, such as online ones.

Evaluating.

In this text for reading, we are learning about how to evaluate for the movie we will be watching. In the text, it gives an example of a man who evaluated the show Dawson's Creek. Which I found to be very interesting and informing. That was a good example of exactly to evaluate something. The key concepts to first starting your evaluation paper is to a small description of your subject, clarify it, you need to have knowledge of your actual subject, a balanced and fair argument, and well-supported reasons. When choosing something to evaluate, look for something small rather than something broad and vague. Others important things to do would be; exploring what you already know about it, identify the criteria, evaluate the subject, compared it to others, state your judgment as the thesis, anticipate other opinions, and identify and support your reasons. Explore what you know by freewriting stuff, do a lot of research, and compare and contrast related subjects.

Facebook Group Project

Yesterday we worked together in group to try and finish the project. We fixed all the details, changed the format, and we also changed what we had written into more of a list instead of a paragraph. Two people in the group when to the writing center and had someone check our paragraphs. We also talked about the pictures more, and then added two videos to show how employers check people's Facebook's. We are close to being done so we are meeting one more time on Monday to finish up everything.
