Prompt 1: Explain how the two essay assignments in your portfolio demonstrate ways
you’ve shaped your writing for specific situations. Discuss 2-3 specific choices you’ve
made to shape your writing for an intended purpose, audience, or genre. For each
example, 1) state a purpose, audience, and/or genre move you had in mind for an
assignment and 2) point out where the portfolio reader can find evidence of a specific
choice you made to respond to your intended purpose, audience, or genre.
Prompt 2: Evaluate 2-3 examples from your process writing the essay assignments in
your portfolio. At least one example must focus on a significant revision that improved
an essay assignment. At least one example must focus on a time when your writing
process resulted in a text that did not meet your expectations. For each example, 1)
describe the process you went through, 2) show evidence of the writing that resulted
from that process, and 3) explain why you think the process was successful or
unsuccessful.
Guidelines
• Use lots of detail to describe your rhetorical thinking and writing process. Give
the portfolio reader an in-depth sense of what you were thinking or doing when
you wrote the portfolio texts
• Use specific evidence for each prompt. Quote your portfolio texts or direct the
reader to specific place in the portfolio texts where they can find your evidence
• Don’t worry about editing, using formal language, or citing sources. This is not a
formal essay assignment
• Before you turn it in, check to make sure that the reflection paper meets the
criteria on the portfolio rubric. Your reflection will only be graded based on the
criteria on the rubricPortfolio Submission Guidelines
