REQUIREMENTS---
To compose your e-portfolio, you can use Weebly.com (the one we’ll go over in class and the one I can help with), or a comparable website design site if you’ve used them previously and are able to fulfill the same requirements..
Design and Format:
Basic Format Requirements and Tips-
1) YOU MUST EMBED DOCUMENTS OR UPLOAD THEM AS PHOTOS I CAN READ EASILY. I WILL NOT DOWNLOAD YOUR DOCUMENTS ONTO MY COMPUTER AND SIFT THROUGH THEM. Use the "Document " function not the "File" function to do this.

YES. This works best for files like the final draft of your literacy narrative.
NOOOOOOO! It looks right, but it's not. Stay away. This means I have to download it to my computer, which won't happen.
2) Work must be organized under clear separate pages and subpages.
3) Any other design and organizational choices will be left up to you. Remember that, although this isn’t an art class, presentation matters as it would with anything else. Think about applying for a job where you might be asked to submit a portfolio of your work; you would want to appear professional and motivated. So, you are expected to personalize and/or carefully design your portfolio in a meaningful way.
This page is divided into 3 steps to help guide you through the process of assembling your portfolio:
Step 1: Selecting Your Work
You should begin by taking time to look back through the work you have done this semester (any work relating to this course: Daybook entries, selections from drafts, peer reviews, etc.) and choose the examples of your work that best display your growth in thinking, writing and research and your engagement in the course. It is not just important that you include the minimum work; it is what you select and why you included it.
The following should be collected from your work this semester:
1) Daybook Entries: 10-12 entries that are carefully selected and that display specific aspects of your thinking, research and writing.
2) Process Work & Feedback: 3-5 exhibits of significant in-class process work or work from conferences. This refers to early drafts you brought to class and received feedback from peers. You may include complete drafts, excerpts, workshop materials, etc. Choose examples of moments that were significant to your process or work on that assignment. You can also include instructor feedback here (Drafts you received from me, feedback posted on Moodle or your blog, etc.)
3) Final Literacy Narrative: This should be the draft that is revised since the last time I saw it, which would be your conference.
4) Completed Multi-Genre Project (with author’s statement and Works Cited Page)
5) 2-3 Revised Blog Entries (The third is optional if you need to get some extra points or need to include a peer-reviewed source.): One tab will obviously be your blog. This piece works a little differently, so we have to handle it a little differently.
Step 2: Organizing & Displaying Your Work
This part is a little like putting together a puzzle. You want to display your best work and also display it in a way that shows a variety of areas of learning, thinking and engagement.
Here are the categories/pages you should include. These ARE NOT TITLES that you have to use; you may title them whatever you want, and you may create subpages for these areas if you need to; these reflect the focus for each page:
1) Welcome Page
2) Critical Thinking & Reading
3) Light Bulb Moments
4) Inquiry
5) Connections & Transfer
6) Process
5) Revision
7) Final Page
