100 points (15% ENGL102 Course Grade)
Assignment Prompt
Task
For this assignment, you will compose a reflective essay of your learning in this course and compile artifacts (activities completed in the course related to your learning of the material) in an organized portfolio created with Adobe Spark. For the portfolio, you will
compile artifacts that demonstrate how well you have met your personal goals for the course and the course defined goals
write a reflection on what you learned
Rationale
The goal of this final portfolio is to reflect on and demonstrate that you have carefully thought about your process of learning in this course. Reflecting on your learning in English 102 should demonstrate to readers that you have spent time considering how your work connects with the your personal goals and the course goals and provides evidence of your development in them. This project allows you to document your performance in this class by examining what you’ve produced this semester in relation to the goals. Key terms (e.g. purpose, audience, rhetoric, discipline) introduced in the course represent core concepts in writing, and they will be useful vocabulary for explaining your development as a writer.
Options to Consider
Selecting artifacts. Review the artifacts you collected at the end of Module 1 and Module 2 and select samples of any writing you produced this semester. “Any writing” means anything you’ve produced for this class that demonstrates both achievement AND struggles in meeting goals. It might be notes you made for class, all of the major assignments with rough drafts, and homework or annotated reading assignments that you felt had a big influence on your learning this semester; your artifacts can be alphabetic text, images, audio, video, etc. Your essay should also briefly describe the artifact, hyperlink to the copy in your GDrive folder (Spark doesn’t host documents), and list the goals to which you have connected it.
Reflecting on your learning.Consider what you have learned in this class. Draw from reflections composed at the end of each major project as you compose this essay. You are required to discuss at least 4 goals (either personal, course, or both when there’s overlap).
Format Requirements
Use Adobe Spark to create a portfolio in which you will include:
Five (5) artifacts that demonstrate both achievement and struggle with goals.
Provide artifacts with descriptive names that aid your organization method (they should be in order).
Final versions of Project #1 and Project #2 are required to be submitted as artifacts, and count toward the required number.
A reflective essay, 500-1000 words, including in-text references to your artifacts.
Your full reflective essay should be linked out from the portfolio.
You should include relevant snippets of the essay in the portfolio to help explain the connections between the artifacts and your learning.
You will be collecting artifacts throughout the course and storing them in a GDrive folder. This should create a repository for you to pull from for your Spark portfolio. Additionally, your essay can be both in the GDrive folder and interspersed throughout the portfolio. Present it in the way you feel best explains what you learned and how.
