Final Portfolio Peer Workshop

Criteria for this workshop:

Read the reviewer memo from the writer first.

Write a 100 word (minimum) note detailing the strengths of each page and areas where it
could benefit from improvement. Each note should specifically address the additional
content on the page, meaning the introduction to the page and the description for each
item. You may also include comments about the layout and arrangement of items;
however, this should not be your main focus.
Complete the rubric below.

2 peer workshops must be submitted by Wednesday, April 22 at 9:30 AM in order to receive

full credit for the workshop. No late workshops will be accepted.

Home
I think your home page is really good. It opens up with the title and exactly what the class was
right down to the days and times of it. After that you give a brief overview of yourself so the
viewer can learn a little bit about you and what kind of person you are. I really like how you
inform the viewer exactly what they are going to be reading after that. Every page is labeled and
telling exactly what each page has in store. I think opening up with this page will be very helpful
and set your portfolio off into the right direction. If I was to say to add anything, if you wanted,
maybe add a picture or something like that.
Letter To Olivia
I think your Letter to Olivia page is exactly what it needs to be. Your introduction is perfect and
clear cut and tells the viewer exactly what the project was and what we had to do. Then you
posted your document and that was great too! I skimmed over it and thought it was pretty
interesting. Some of your thoughts were the same as mine at the beginning of class and some
were different as well and its cool now to see how we ended up at the end of the class. This is a
really good and strong page of your portfolio and I dont think it needs anything.
Discussion Forums/Replies
Im sure your not done with this page yet and I do not need to tell you this but this page seems to
be missing a few things! The title and the introduction are really good though and let the viewer
know what it is about. Now all you need to do is just add your specific forum posts and replies
and you will be all set. I am still struggling a little with this part because I dont know which
ones I want to add yet but once you figure out which ones you want to add then you will be all
set with this page.
Daybook Activities
Your introduction to the daybook activities page was really good! Im sure not a little people
know what a daybook activity is and you gave a great definition of it and described how
important of an assignment it was in our class everyday. I also really liked the daybooks you
chose to include onto this page. I am struggling with this a little because I am not sure which
ones I want to add yet. I think all you have to add now is a few replies to the forums that you
thought were interesting and I think after that you will be all set.
In-Class Assignments

It seems as if you are missing a few things here and there from this page again! But I am sure
you already know this. You do have your title and introduction though and those are both very
good. Your introduction was thorough and let the viewer know what kind of assignments we had
in class and, why we had them, and how we went about them in class. I think once you add in the
assignments you want to include in your portfolio along with the introductions above each
assignment describing what it was about, this page will be all set.
Research/Presentation
When I first read the title to this page I was a little curious as to what I was going to find on this
page. Then I figured out what it was and I think this page is a really good idea. This is a way to
get a few of the elements we need into your portfolio and in a creative way. You give a great
definition of what kind of research we did and how we presented things and it shows how much
and what kind of work we really did in the class. This is a really good page and I think it is
strong in your portfolio.
First Drafts/Peer Workshops
I thought this was another interesting way of how you did your portfolio. You are doing all of
your first drafts and peer revisions together on one page and separating everything like that
instead of going by assignment to assignment. This was interesting to me and I think you do a
good job at it. This introduction is strong as well and again shows how important first drafts and
peer revisions were to our class and our papers. Your genre analysis documents look good now I
think you just need to add the rest and I think you are all set.
Second Drafts/Olivias Comments
Again, I think it was interesting how you did your portfolio in this format because it was the first
one I have seen this way. But just like your first drafts/peer workshops page, this page is set up
very nicely too. You add the two documents that Professor Rines went over and gave comments
for you and just added a little introduction to both paper to talk about what it was about and how
it was significant. I thought you did a really good job on this page. I really do not know what else
you could add to this page, I think it is fine just the way it is.
Final Drafts
Finally! Your final drafts page! Just kidding but I think this is a strong page of your portfolio. I
thought it was interesting how you added your midterm reflection to this page of your portfolio
because when I was making my portfolio I had never of thought to do that. That was a good idea.
I was also thinking maybe you could move your presentation document onto your presentation
page instead of your final drafts page. I think all you have to do now is add the other final drafts
you have like your genre analysis and your micro-ethnography and I think you will be all set
with your final drafts page.
Final Reflection
All that is left is your final reflection page that does not seem to be finished yet. All you have so
far is a good title and a strong introduction that tells the viewer exactly what the assignment was
and the significance of it. All you have to do now is your final drafts along with the peer
workshops we did for it and you will be all set with that page, I think your portfolio is very
strong and good but if I was to say anything about it, maybe you could add a few pictures of

anything and if possible, make it a little shorter some how or trim out a few pages. But other than
that, great job!
