Final Portfolio

My Final Portfolio contains three out of our four pieces of writing: my final paper 4 which I revised with my peer corrections and professor corrections, my paper 2 where I revised my paper using my peer and professor corrections and my paper 1 was my major re-write. I choose to use these three papers because it reflects the work I put into the class and how my work has changed over the quarter. I choose to revise my paper 4 because I felt as if it was a pretty good paper that just need tweaked a little bit. Due to the fact that I had been in English 151 for 8 weeks by the time I began writing my final paper I felt as if my knowledge for the class had grown. My paper 2 was an improvement from my first paper but I still felt as if their was some necessary revisions to be made so I made those appropriate changes. My paper 1 was my major re-write because I felt as if I didn't have a feel for the class and for what my professor was looking for but hopefully after making corrections and doing a lot of editing my paper 1 will be a better paper.

My argument to change my grade in the class from a B to an A is that I worked very hard in the class and there was never a time when I turned in a assignment late or not at all. I went to all of the classes and was always on time. I feel as if after this English class my writing style and ability has improved and I am hoping that it continues to improve. In high school my English skills were very structured around the format that the teacher gave about the paper after this class I have learned to think more outside of the box and that it is not always necessary to follow all rules regarding the guidelines of a paper. I hope you can see from my work and by always doing all of the assignments you assigned that I deserve an A for the class instead of a B.

I feel as if I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from this class that I will take forward with me into my future college classes. After going through your class I feel as if I have learned a lot about writing that I did not know before as annoying as I thought reading those articles in Writing About Writing was they helped me learn a lot of new information. I really enjoyed your class and I am glad that I had you as my English 151 teacher you helped broaden my horizons about the world of writing.
