"Most great stories of adventure, from The Hobbit to Seven Pillars of Wisdom, come furnished with a map. That's because every story of adventure is in part the story of a landscape, of the interrelationship between human beings (or Hobbits, as the case may be) and topography. Every adventure story is conceivable only with reference to the particular set of geographical features that in each case sets the course, literally, of the tale."-Michael Chabon

Final Portfolio

Due: the day of the final

A portfolio is your chance to look back on your writing from the semester and reflect upon it. Our class portfolio will be in the form of a chapbook or zine.

Chapbook/Zine:


Your chapbook/zine will be a collection of your favorite short journal/blog entries, and a short reflection. Please feel free to get creative with the presentation of your work.

Contents:
  • 3 "Reading Like a Writer" entries
  • 3 50 "snapshot" photos
  • Imitation poem/essay (for either Blood Dazzler or your rhetorical analysis)
  • 3 in class writings
Revise the contents of one category and write a brief reflection discussing any changes you've made.
