Working Portfolio 2 General

Eng 1A HSU, Fall 2008 Working Portfolio #2: Group Work

Working Portfolio #2

Working Portfolio #2 is centered in Group Work. This is not therapy; this is about learning to work, write, organize, and generate projects in a collaborative fashion with one or two other colleagues. By groups, I mean pairs or threes—no group should have more than three people. Similarly, I will not designate groups; you must self-regulate and self-organize into healthy, balanced groups. Selfdiscipline, self-control, and self-organization are vital skills. This portfolio is intended to develop them as well as your writing.

WP #2 is worth 20% of your final grade. I will issue the same exact grade to each member of the group. Choose your group members wisely. You may NOT change group members after 9/18 Critical Due Dates: Wed 9/17: SFD, 500 words, of Propaganda Analysis due Mon 9/22: 2nd/Revised Draft, 750 words, of Propaganda Analysis due Wed 9/24: SFD, 500 words, of Rhetorical Analysis due Fri 9/26: SFD of group work letter due Mon 10/6: WP #2 due IN CLASS Working Portfolio #2 is due on Monday, October 6th within the first five minutes of class. If it is after five minutes, then you will not get credit for the work that you have done. Your working portfolio will be scored in the following fashion: ICWs: 2 points; Due on Monday, October 6th Each individual must contribute 5 full pages of ICWs. Thus, if there are two group members, there must be ten full pages of ICWs; if there are three members then there must be 15 full pages of ICWs. If one person does not contribute their equal share—five full pages—the whole group gets zero credit for this portion. Group Work Letter: 3 points; Due on Monday, October 6th Each group member must write up a full-block formatted business letter that is at least 300 words long. In that business letter, which is addressed to me, they will discuss the major pro, the major con, and the most important thing that they learned from working together in groups. If there are two people, then there should be two letters; if there are three people, then there should be three letters. If you are missing one letter, then you will get zero credit. Propaganda Analysis: 5 points Third draft: 4 full pages/1,000 words Second draft: 3 full pages/750 words SFD: 2 full pages/500 words
