Final instructional portfolio
English 880
Spring 2005

{Note: The requirements for the portfolio have been altered slightly from the course syllabus.}

At the end of the quarter, you will turn in a portfolio that includes:

• Contributions to a common English 110C "Instructional Assets Web Site."
  
• A course syllabus for English 110C that is developed individually from the English 110C instructional assets.  I am NOT necessarily interested in a structured, day-by-day schedule (if you work best with that kind of approach, feel free to include a schedule). Instead, I am mostly interested in a course description, course policies, brief summaries of assignments, etc.
  
• A sequence of assignments for English 110C that is individually developed from the English 110C "Instructional Assets Web Site." 
  
• Drafts of digital media work. I am going to suggest that you include two (2) examples of digital media work in the portfolio. Your Photoshop project should serve as one of these projects.
  
• A final reflective composition about your work in the seminar.  You are more than welcome to create this reflective composition using digital media, but as the tensions from the end of the quarter increase, you might wish to create this as a Word document. I am interested in how your experiences in this class have changed (or not) your thinking about teaching. What have you realized about your own learning and writing processes? What have you learned about your students’ learning and writing processes?  What are your thoughts about curriculum development and design? Of course, I'm interested in your thoughts about digital media production. These questions are intended to guide you, not limit you. Feel free to approach this assignment as you like.

I will ask that you turn in your work to me on the classroom network as well as on a CD-R (this CD-R will not be returned to you;  the DMP can provide a disc for you if you don’t have one).
