Conference 2: Portfolio Preparation
What to Bring:
o This worksheet, completed (also upload it to Titanium)
o Any documents youre considering including in your portfolio.
Questions:
1. As you can see on our Portfolio Instruction Sheet (available on Titanium), each students
portfolio must include one fully revised, major assignment with citations (profile or
editorial). Review your work and my comments on these assignments. Which of these
documents are you most interested in revising, and why? Which of our student learning
outcomes (see page one of our syllabus) could you satisfy by revising this document
(and yes, it can satisfy more than one)? Where will you have to focus your revision
efforts to produce a document that will satisfy your standards?
- I am most interested in revising blog post because it was the first assignment which means I
could not do well and I got low grade on this. I can satisfy, especially, Rhetorical Focus, Ethical
Citation and other SLOs as well. I will have to focus most on citation and thesis.

2. Your portfolio team should meet to discuss which major assignment each of you intends
to revise. First, each student should pitch their assignment choice to their peers,
arguing for its ability to satisfy our SLOs and stating your purpose in revising this
document instead of one of the others. Below, summarize your peers comments and
suggestions about your choice. Do they agree or disagree with you, and why? How did
they advise you? Which SLOs do your peers think your chosen assignment will satisfy?
What kinds of revisions do they suggest?

- My peers and I all chose to use our blog post as our assignment to revise. We all chose it
because as our first assignment, it wasnt written as well as we had hoped. We also felt we can
include techniques we learned throughout the semester into our blog post to make it sound better.
Some of the SLOs we felt our blog post would satisfy besides ethical citation, and collaboration
are: persuasion because we are trying to convince the audience to see our picture through our
perspective as well as rhetorical analysis because our blog post is written in an informal way.

Some of the revisions we suggested to each other were to add citations, make our papers longer,
and to fix the grammatical errors we have.
