Portfolio Assignment Due by 11:59 p.m., Wednesday Aug. 8

Welcome to the new and improved instructions for your portfolio.  Please ignore the description in the syllabus as this will be quite a bit different.

Description
There are just four assignments that you were asked to do: "Epics and Fables," "Characterization/Point of View," "Style Thief," and "Theme/Setting."  For your portfolio, you will select the three assignments that you think are your best work, revise them based on our class workshopping sessions, the comments left on your post, and your own judgment.

Presentation
You will present your revised pieces in a digital portfolio, along with some visual elements that will blow the mind of your poor, simple caveman professor.  A .pdf would probably be the easiest format, but if you want to get fancy and use video or animation, just clear it with me first.

Reflection
When revising each piece, you should first revisit the assignment instructions.  As you make your revisions, think about how you can improve your work so that it more closely achieves the goals set out in the instructions.  When you are done with your revisions, write one or two paragraphs that explain how you went about satisfying the elements of the assignment, how you revised the assignment to improve it, and how you felt about your final product as well as the process of getting it to its final stage.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to email me at andylhinds@yahoo.com
