The final portfolio consists of the three projects you have completed for class, all significantly revised from peer comments and my written responses. To revise means to rethink, reconsider, rework, and rewrite to the best of your ability. It also means that you have considered the rhetorical purpose for the document/project and determined the best way to present that document/project according to its purpose. Revision does include editing, but it does not equal editing.

For the remaining weeks of the semester, you will engage in revising your three projects so that they will serve as representations of your best work for the class. Most of our class time will be devoted to workshopping our projects and continuing the revision process. You may ask questions, ask for feedback from me and from your peers, as well as spend time in class working on your assignments.

Your portfolio is due on Thursday, December 11th at the end of class (4:15pm). Rather than submit material versions of your projects for the semester, I would like you to submit your projects via the web.

Components and Format for the Portfolio
For Project #1, "Multimedia in a Box," there are several options for presentation on the web. You can take digital photos of the box and its contents and create a webpage that presents those pictures, along with your revised artist's statement and reflective memo. You might just list the items that were presented in your box and provide links to those documents on a separate webpage (since many of you included web-based articles, music, and media), along with your revised artist's statement and reflective memo. The last option is for you to produce some kind of computer-based multimedia production using the components of the original material project. You would also need to include your revised artist's statement and reflective memo. In any and all of these possibilities, you will need to remember to revise the artist's statement and reflective memo, as well as the project itself. You might include additional or different items based on the comments you received.

Project #2, the web-based portfolio, should be already on the web. You will revise this project according to peer comments and my comments. I also recommend that you link project #1 and project #3 to this site (more than likely as examples of your work).

Project #3 will also need its own webpage that links to your revised instructional document (in whatever file format you desire) or your revised Flash project, along with your revised forum analysis document (this can be in ms word, pdf, html, or any other readable format).

By the end of class on Thursday, December 11th, you will need to send a professional email to me in which you briefly discuss your portfolio and the revision choices you made. Make sure to remember to include the URL for your portfolio so I can view it.
