Midterm Portfolio

End of marking period portfolio and reflection:

MIDTERM PORTFOLIO

There are two (2) parts to your midterm portfolio:
A. A 2-3 page, double-spaced, typed self evaluation essay (about 500-750 words)
B. Your 1st semester drafts of all your CW class assignments
(poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and scripts only).
There is no need to put homework assignments, worksheets, or projects
(like human interest films, powerpoint poetry or presentations) in your portfolio.
You may refer to these things in your reflection. Most pieces are already in your portfolio
.
Part A. Self Evaluation Essay (see details below)

Part B. Portfolio

Self Reflection Non Fiction - Creative Essay:
During your freshman year, we have thrown quite a bit of information,
projects, and assignments your way. We did this so that you had the opportunity
to grow as a writer and a student.

It is true that the most important qualification for writers is that they write.
Apart from this, reading is also the most important way to improve your writing
this stage of your development and education. These introductory courses
designed to get you to know yourself as a student and writer a little better,
and we're going to continue that trend into the second semester.

Reflective piece: 2-3 pages, double-spaced, MLA heading, 12 pont font, Times New Roman.
Answer some of these questions:

Write about how you’ve grown as a writer so far this year 

by taking Ms. Gamzon or my classes. 

Reflect on what has been easy or hard for you 
as a student and/or as a writer. 

Comment on what areas you feel you need more work in; 

Reflect on your progress as a writer, a reader, and as a student. 

Discuss the work you have done so far in our classes. 

What have you learned (about yourself or about the craft and art of writing) 
from writing these projects or drafts? 

Comment on the value of Performance, Word, and Text and 
Grammar and Style.

Comment on the value of keeping a writing journal. 

Respond to the books you have read in Creative Writing 
and compare those to what you have read in your English classes. 

Comment on your progress with grammar and
writing in different genres or formats.

What have you learned?

Finally, give yourself at least 1 
writing goal for the second semester. 
You may give yourself more than one goal 
if you'd like.
