Module 10: Understanding Self

If an artist were trying to get a job painting a mural in someone’s home, he would not show the potential client everything he had ever painted.  He also would not include murals that did not truly showcase his abilities or talent.  Instead, he would choose a few of his best works and highlight those. The same ideas apply to a digital portfolio for English class.

In this module, you will be choosing your best samples of work to submit as a final portfolio. Throughout this journey to self-discovery, you have completed assignments that showcase a range of different writing talents. It is now time to make sure your portfolio is organized and contains all of the required components.

Getting Started

Look back over all of the assignments you created during this course and rank them in the order of your favorites and your best pieces (in case those are not the same).  Then, think about why you like your favorites so much and why some pieces are better than others.  Also, think about what the selected works say about you as a writer.
