The second conference will be in the last two weeks of class. You will be required to bring in a working draft of a piece of writing that will go into your portfolio. Again, failure to do your part in this will not result in anything good. You are always welcome to come see me for help on any of your drafts or at anytime during the revision process. I encourage it.
Revision is a very important part of the writing process.
This class will ask you to revise in order to improve your writing. Twice this semester I will see a collection of you work that you put together in a portfolio. What you include in the portfolio will be in part up to you. I will ask that you choose some of your formal writing and some of your informal writing. More detailed information on portfolios will be posted on my Web site.
