The Final Project: have some fun!
The Course Portfolio: release a greatest wiki hits playlist!

CLASS: please include ALL the writing instructors usernames when you share your portfolios in blackboard, please. I know that I instructed you to only include Gresham, McCracken, and Conner, but the committee does in fact include ALL writing instructors so please make this adjustment! Thank you!

The Final Project: have some fun!

the project can be in any medium but must have a "cover sheet" or statement of purpose on the wiki, and you have until next week to complete the project. Tomorrow in class we'll pin down a precise day (most likely Thursday) when I will be in my office to gather up non-wiki project materials. The project should attend to the needs of a specific audience and can sample from your best work. It can even be a significant revision (remix!) of your best paper, a revision that expands upon and elaborates upon your earlier effort.

The Course Portfolio: release a greatest wiki hits playlist!

Just as important as your project is your FINAL PORTFOLIO, because it's also worth 25% of your final grade. Basically, this is a cumulative statement-of-purpose/cover sheet/reflection with links that directs the grading committee's attention to your best work (link to any writing anywhere from anytime during the semester--this your "greatest hits" compilation) as pertaining to the 4 WPA rubrics:

1. rhetorical knowledge

2. critical thinking/reading/writing

3. evidence of your writing process (sequencing chats-->brainstorms-->blogs-->rough drafts-->final drafts)

4. awareness of different conventions, formatting styles, and genres of argumentation.

Let's prepare for tomorrow's meeting (our last!) by trolling for greatest hits (yours or anyone else's--remember, your interpretation/understanding/reading (see #2 above) of a peer's exemplary rhetorical moment counts just the same! We'll do more of the same in class. Let's crowdsource this wiki and rock these portfolios.

Hey Guys! I emailed Trey asking about the our final grades... this was his response:

"You're on track--you just need to understand the project and the portfolio in this way:

1. the project can be in any medium but must have a "cover sheet" or statement of purpose on the wiki, and you have until next week to complete the project.

I hope this clears things up!"

It really helped me! I hope everyone does well on the final (and in the class in general :)...)
