To submit a portfolio: Before writing this essay, meet the requirements
of your LART100/EWRT100 instructor for success in that class.
Content: Write an essay of at
least two pages (500 words) to look back on your progress in writing
this quarter and explain why you are ready to go to EWRT1A. This goes
in the front of your portfolio, as an introduction to your work for the
teachers evaluating the portfolio.
Review all the work you've done for the class. Consider why you chose
the essays in your portfolio and how they show your readiness for
EWRT1A. Give specific examples from these essays to show your
improvements.
- Discuss what you have learned in LART100 or EWRT100B. This might
include practice in organization, analysis, development, vivid
examples, construction of better sentences, proofreading, writing
process, and so on.
- Include how your writing has changed as a result of what you have
learned in this class. Remember to provide specific evidence for your
claims.
- What still needs improvement? Write about what you'd still like

beyond?
