1. Say you decide to use portfolio grading, would you want it to be more of a revised compilation of a student's writing from your course in totality, or as a curation of only their strongest works? (What are your thoughts on portfolios in terms of design choices?)
2. If we are understanding genre as contingent on context, where we investigate it with certain analytical lenses, how would you go about explaining this understanding to your ENC 2135 class in a way they can easily comprehend and begin to utilize?
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteTo answer your first question, if I use portfolio grading, I think it will be more of a revised compilation of the totality of students' writing. If I only collect their strongest works, I won't really get a sense of how much they've grown. As much of the point of a portfolio is to inspire reflection on how our composition practices and identities as writers have evolved, I think a more comprehensive collection of work is necessary.
