Portfolio Extra Credit Opportunity
Choose one of the options below.
  1. Reflect on the qualities of your portfolio as a whole. What connections can you make between the work you have done for this portfolio and the work you will do in future classes? How might this work apply to other areas of your life beyond the English classroom? Explain your answers and support them with evidence using your portfolio as your text.
  2. Revisit Wiesenfeld’s position on earning grades in his article “Making the Grade.” Consider your opinion of Wiesenfeld’s claim that you supported at the beginning of the semester.
