Module 1: English Essentials
The Essentials Pamphlet template gives you a
starting point
in
creating your portfolio. The
pamphlet folds in three places, as
represented
by the dashed lines in the image of the template
above.
The top document is
the
outside of the
pamphlet, while the bottom
document is the
inside. You can download the template and
save it to your computer, then place your own elements on it.
Use the information that you have learned from this module and other resources to create your own English Essentials Pamphlet. In this pamphlet, you will include information from each of the topics in this module so that you create an informational resource that you can use throughout this course. Whenever you need help on using technology, finding tips for success, using reading strategies, applying the writing process, formatting in MLA style, or compiling works for your digital portfolio, you could refer to your pamphlet for information. You could even print out your pamphlet and keep it in a notebook dedicated for this course.
You must include key information on the following topics:
- Tips for success in this course
- Reading strategies and explanations on how to use them
- Explanations of the steps in the writing process
- Common MLA style formatting guidelines

Remember, your tri-fold pamphlet should also be visually appealing as well as comprehensive and informative. Use only images that are your original work or those for which you have permission to use. Refer to the Developmental Module for guidelines on how to properly cite sources of images and information.
