Portfolio Assignment
Your portfolio presentation is a way for you to reflect on what you have learned this semester. It should be 8-10 minutes long. Presentations will take place during class time from Thursday, November 29 to Friday, December 7. You will receive an email with your grade and comments later on the day you present.
Your portfolio will be a Powerpoint presentation, where you will do the following:
1. Give at least six main characteristics of one of the concepts we have discussed in class this semester:
• Ethos
• Pathos
• A well-supported, clear thesis
• Audience awareness
• Visual rhetoric
• Language and tone
• Use of valid sources
• Integration of quotations
For your definition you can draw from your notes and from class discussions. You can also use our class textbook and the Purdue OWL. For Compose Design Advocate and the OWL citations, you should use MLA. Remember to not only define the concept as it applies to written work, but also to videos and websites.
2. After defining the concept, you will apply it to two of the texts we discussed this semester (Snow Crash, Who Does She Think She Is?, 50/50 and the shorter texts we read in Compose Design Advocate). If you cite specific page numbers, make sure to use MLA.
3. You will explain how you have applied the concept to at least two of your projects, which if needed, will be revised to make the concept work better. You will need three examples. For your essays, paste the paragraph or sentence you want to highlight into the slide. For your websites and videos you can either use screenshots or leave the presentation to visit the part of your website or video you want to discuss.
