PORTFOLIOS!
We have been working diligently on completing TWO Portfolio Projects: The Banned Books Portfolio and The Autobiographic Portfolio. These portfolios showcase your abilities to comprehend, evaluate, analyze and synthesize information using a variety of literary genres. Now that you have finished your mini-projects, we are going to compile your projects into their larger portfolios.
Your Banned Books Portfolio should be typed with one inch margins around each page (use 12 pt Times New Roman or Arial Narrow font). This project has multiple goals; some of which are censorship analysis, personal relevancy studies, and higher level thinking skills.
The Portfolio should include:
~ A cover page outlining the contents of your portfolio and
introducing your purpose(s) in creating the project
~ Your Banned Book Summary (2 pages)
~ Your Banned Book Plotline (1 page)
~ Your Banned Book Background Paper (1 page)
~ Your Banned Book Persuasive Editorial (1 page)
~ A description of your presentation and visual aid
~ All drafts of these assignments
Your Autobiographic Portfolio can be handwritten or typed, but it needs to have clear, clean pages that are easily legible. There should be no cross-outs or messiness. Do not include anything gang-related or sexually inappropriate. The Autobiographic Portfolio had many aims, and some of the most prominent in our class discussions have been: self-discovery, encountering new genres, and increasing the difficulty in cognitive processes with which we approached these assignments.
This portfolio should include:
~ A cover page discussing the purposes of the project and the pieces included within it
~ Life Poem
~ Soundtrack of Your Life
~ Belief Essay
~ Dreams and/or Respect Essays
~ Autobiography, ages zero through the present
~ Personal Do Nows (i.e. Ten Years from Now, My Fears, Favorite Scent, Goals, etc.)
~ All drafts of these assignments
~ A folder with a collage or design on the cover that visually represents you
See me for any questions or concerns. Good luck!
