The artifacts I would want to showcase are, the letter, Pecha Kucha, a blog post from early in the year, one from later in the year, and my final paper rough draft and final. I feel like these artifacts would show my growth as a writer throughout the year and would also highlight the assignments I enjoyed doing the most.

Outcome 1:

My portfolio will cover a wide selection of genres displaying diverse forms of writing. This will show that I am an open author not limited to one form of writing. The letter will show the creative side to my writing and it will demonstrate how I can closely analyze a character and adopt their persona. My letter is interesting because it continues the story but also incorporates my own writing elements. My Pecha Kucha is a unique form of rhetorical analysis. This will exhibit that I can closely analyze an image or idea and break apart its arguments. This genre is extremely unique because presentations are not usually considered as writing, but the same analysis goes into both. The Pecha Kucha was my favorite assignment of the year and I feel like it most adequately depicts me. The blog post is a new and unique genre as well. Our blog posts reveal that we can follow a prompt and still incorporate our own ideas. Most of the blogs required us to use the “they say, I say” method, which is one of our major class themes. Finally the final paper is most important because, although it is not as creative, it takes all the skills we learned throughout the year to do. The paper showcases our ability to, research, analyze, respond, and to craft a paper. This assignment takes the most work and represents us the most because we are arguing our own individual opinions. I think that my portfolio will present me as a diverse writer capable of analyzing a topic and composing a presentable argument.
