1. In the first paragraph on page 112, Yancey lists several different methods for approaching portfolio grading. How would you plan to go about grading portfolios in your classes and why? Would you consider collaborating with others or want to grade solo?
2. In line with the Wysocki chapter, what kind of aesthetic guidelines and visual elements would you include in student writing portfolios? Would you have your students write a heads-up statement explaining their choices?
Welcome! This blog acts as a space for you to critically reflect on the readings and better absorb the material, and it puts you in conversation with your peers about their understanding of the material. Directions: 1: Create a new post where you will raise two questions about the readings that you would like your peers to engage with. 2: Reply to one peer's post as a comment and attempt to answer one of their posted questions. Blog posts are due by 8pm the night before class.

Hi Aram,
ReplyDeleteIn response to your second question, I think that it is important that we have students write a heads-up or artist statement to explain why they made particular aesthetic choices. I want to make sure that my students are thinking analytically about the choices that they make in their compositions. If a student is choosing a particular font because they thought it looked cool and not because of some greater rhetorical reason, I wouldn't penalize them. I would just like to know if there is some greater meaning to the choices that they made.
