Inquiry V
Reflective Portfolio
After carefully and reflectively re-reading the work you’ve completed this semester, this inquiry asks you to compose an online portfolio that offers 1) a contextualizing introduction; 2) polished versions of Inquires I-IV; and 3) a meta-reflective conclusion.
I ask that you create an online portfolio using a free online website builder. Although I will teach a particular website generator (weebly.com), feel free to use one that you’re comfortable with (i.e. wordpress, wix, etc.)
Introduction
Although I welcome—and encourage!—creative explorations for this assignment, successful introductions will likely do some of the following things:
Content: Inquiries I through IV
Using whatever design strategies you find effective, be sure to include all four inquires. Be sure to embed your YouTube video for Inquiry IV. Although you may include your original writer’s letter for each inquiry, you can also choose to introduce each inquiry in other ways as well.
Conclusion
Your conclusion should reflect about writing and rhetoric at a more comprehensive level. The following questions might be useful to consult while writing your conclusion:
Overall, successful portfolios likely will be coherent, thoughtful, and detailed. Please be as creative as you wish. Show your rhetorical chops!
