In English 100, students are asked to write rhetorical analyses of their essays, to analyze their rhetorical skills and choices, using their essays as examples.
Writing takes a variety of thinking skills.
Here's a table that lists the kinds of thinking you'll have to do as you write, and the course objective that matches that kind of thinking. If your essay writing achieves the writing objectives in the righthand column, you can argue convincingly in your final essay that your portfolio demonstrates your ability to move on to English 101. If you have completed all course requirements and the essays in your portfolio meets the above criteria, you will pass the course.
