Information About Portfolios and Final Papers

Your portfolios and final papers are due June 10.

Your portfolio should contain the following:

• All graded work I have given you in the front pocket.
• All handouts that you have in the main (hole-punched) portion.
• Four poems: (1) the sonnet you wrote for the midterm (does not need to be revised unless I instructed you to do so); (2) the "Song of..." you wrote during the second half of the term; (3) two poems that you wrote, of your choice. All of these must be typed and in the back pocket of your portfolio.

In addition, your final paper is also due June 10. Click here for information about how to begin your final paper, due June 10. Please make sure your paper is double-spaced and the typeface is no smaller than 10 point nor larger than 12 point. The page count must be at least 3 full pages and no more than 8 pages. Your folder portfolio is also due on June 10.

You are strongly encouraged to send me the paper electronically via Google Docs or directly to my email account at lisaschamess@gmail.com by midnight on June 9. On June 10 and 13 we will watch the film Microcosmos. On June 14 and 15 we will review the requirements for the technical language exercise that each student will do for the class on Friday June 17 instead of a formal final.

Your paper will be worth 80 percent of the final grade; the June 17 technical language exercise will be worth 20 percent.
