CREATIVE WRITING

PORTFOLIO
Gail Cajulao 12-Wordsworth Mrs. Eufemia Pura
❝ Portfolios are collections of student work representing a
selection of performance. Portfolios in classrooms today
are derived from the visual and performing arts tradition
in which they serve to showcase artists' accomplishments
and personally favored works. A portfolio may be a folder
containing a student's best pieces and the student's
evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the pieces.

List of Activities written activities done throughtout

the whole semester of the Creative
Writing Class; accompanied by
reflections to each individual outputs.
Individual Poem
Reflection
Making this poem was hard because I can't seem to
think of anything that inspires me. To think of
something, I listened to some love songs to arrive at this
kinda-cliche poem but I glad that I am an empath so I
can absorb the emotions from the songs I listened to so I
arrived at something to work on.
Short Poem and Elements
of Poetry
Reflection
I made this poem years ago when I still have motivation to
write so I just had to edit the technical aspects of the
poem. While writing the elements of poetry I was kinda sad
because of the thought that I am able to write before but I
am still hopeful that I can create better poems in the
future.
Modes of Fiction
Reflection
I find this activity hard because I am unable to do it right
in my first try but when my friend suggested a story that
I am familiar with, I was able to make it right for the
second time. It was kind of tiring because of the figures
of speech that I needed to determine and to analyze the
elements of the story.
Journal Entry and
Reflection
Reflection
Actually my everyday life is mundane and boring. That's
why I pity the person who read my journal because
nothing new has ever happened in my life for the past 7
months. At Least I joined a fandom to keep myself busy
and to communicate with my fellow fans and thankfully I
am able to have online friends with our shared interests.
Yey.
Short Composition
Reflection
I enjoyed making this kind of activity because I am able
to add some references from my favorite band--Arctic
Monkeys. I managed to write a short story based on my
favorite song (which is written on the first paragraph). I
am also able to show my romanticism and ideal
relationship in this story.
Intertextuality
Reflection
Honestly I was kinda nervous and challenged while making
this story because I want to give justice to my references --
May Day Eve and Hintayan ng Langit because those were
really good stories and I do not want to disappoint myself
and the readers. I also find it hard to formulate the whole
story because at first I was really planning to write the
whole script from prologue until its epilogue but because
of the short time, I wasn't able to finish it.
Conceptualization
Reflection
Because of this activity I was able to write my characters
better and to make my story as convincing as possible
because at first I wasn't sure of the characteristics of my
characters in this sorry but after making this, I am able
to conceptualize and write my story with ease.
Craft Essay
Reflection
I enjoyed making this craft essay, it's been a while since i
have written one and since it only requires 300-word
text, I was able to do it it just a short amount of time.
One-Act Play
Reflection
I actually listened to some songs that had injustice and
political themes in it so I would get inspired to write
something. I find it challenging to apply stage directions
in this one-act play because this is my first time making
one. IWriting one-act play is also tedious because I had to
compress all the elements of a story in a short, fast-paced
manner without ending the story abruptly.
List of This part contains all the
groupwork done during the
Groupings whole first semester in Creative
Writing class.
Imagery
Reflection

Making this topic with my groupmates is fun

because we are able to put anything we observed
in the photo, we are able to explore our creativity
and think outside the box.
Poem Analysis
Reflection

We had a hard time in choosing the best poem

that we'll analyze because we want to find the
best poem that fits our criteria and will be easy to
explain.
Poem by Group
Reflection

Creating poem by group is easily because on of our

member actually has an idea about how our poem will go
so we did not experienced any difficulties while making
this activity.
Staging Considerations
Reflection

I actually had fun while making this activity given that

I am always in charge of making the powerpoint
presentation, I used different designs based on our
favorite things as an element for our presentation.
The reason why we are able to finish quickly is
because we developed a system as a group that will
promote efficiency.
Craft Essay
Reflection

I enjoyed making this activity because the story itself

is a nice read and it has a lot of life lessons. I also liked
the way he used metaphors and other literary devices
to convey his ideas well that's why I think our group
finished it immediately.
Reflections: Reflection 1

Reflection 2
Writing reflections helped me
in summarizing and
understanding the idea of
every lessons. During quizzes, I
Reflection 3
try to remember the things
that I wrote when making
reflections to help me
Reflection 4
remember the lessons asked
in every quiz.
Overall Reflection

Creative Writing challenged me to think creatively

and consider the technical aspects in writing. Even
though sometimes I am having a hard time thinking
about what theme I'll be writing, at the end of the
day I feel the joy of having to write and express my
creativity and myself. This also challenged me to
step out of my comfort zone. Initially, I only
preferred to work on poems but as we went through
our lessons, I managed to enjoy writing screenplays
which I never considered I would be interested
before.
