Greetings. This week you need to write about your progress in writing. This essay will go in your Portfolio. It is a required essay for the portfolio. I want you to look at the outcomes posted below These are the outcomes we want you to meet for English 1102. In your Essay, tell what each outcome is and what kind of writing you would do to meet the outcome. Then tell what you have done so far to meet the outcome and which assignment you have completed that most shows your work on this outcome.
Use this format:
List the outcome. then write a paragraph or more about what the outcome means in terms of reading and writing in our class. Then tell how you have met that outcome. Give explanations of which assignments related to this outcome and show that you have met the outcome.
Complete this explanation for each of the outcomes. It’s really like two parts. The first one tells what the outcome means, and the second one is more personal. It tells all the ways you met the outcome. You can include what you are still working on. We have started argumentative writing, and you should have read examples of argumentative essays in Connections.
