- All four of your campus commentaries; polished based on feedback.
- something new from each semester (creative, reflective, analytical, exegetical, hermeneutic, discursive—we have so many great models of different modes and genres in our course) by you that is a text; connect this to your experience in our course and link it to other relevant places in your portfolio
- something new from each semester by you that is not a text (image or images, audio, video, something else?); connect this to your experience in our course and link it to other relevant places in your portfolio
- something new (text or non-text) that is collaborative; connect this to your experience in our course and link it to other relevant work in your portfolio.
You will present your portfolios at the Verna Miller Case Symposium.
Plan a two-minute presentation of the best few parts of your portfolio that you’re proud of and want to share. It need not be the whole portfolio, but whatever you feel represents you and your work in the course most effectively.
