Blog post (due Monday at 11:59 p.m.; approx. 300 words; please include your name and the post number [#11] in your subject line):

Carefully read over the Final Portfolio assignment sheet. Start to reflect on your writing over the course of the semester and consider which four to six artifacts you’d like to showcase in your cover letter.

Next, choose one of the three learning outcomes (on pp. 3-4 of the assignment sheet) that you’d like to focus on for this blog post. In your post, respond to the “getting started” prompt for that outcome. For example, if you choose Outcome Two, write about the assignment(s) that showcase your ability to summarize and evaluate the arguments of others. How have you integrated the writing of others into your own writing? Which assignment(s) best shows your ability to construct your own argument? Cite specific examples and feel free to draw quotes from your own writing.
