Protected For each piece you include in your portfolio, choose and answer at least two of the following questions:

1. What big ideas of English I do you see in this piece? What does it have to say about those ideas? Do you still think this? How have your ideas changed?

2. What elements of quality are present in this piece? How did you achieve them? How do they add to the effectiveness of the work?

3. How did you complete this piece of work? What was the assignment? What did you want to create? What were the steps you took to complete it? And did it come out the way you intended?

4. Compare this piece of work to another piece of work. Do you notice similarities? Differences? How has your thinking or writing or reading improved between the two pieces?

Pokemon 3. I completed it with a little bit of research. I found out some facts about the movie and used those in the paper. The assaignment was a free write with no real guidelines. I tried to write something people wouldn't mind reading, and would want to finish it when they read the beginning. 4. I'm comparing theis to the Sestina. This is more of a essay kind of assignment. It gets a a point across. On the other hand the Sestina is more of a idea, not really saying anything.

Memorable Moment 3. I completed it by just sitting down and thinking about what happned. The assaignment was to write about a moment in yur life that you remeber. I wanted to create a story that uses humor at places but not too much. I think I did achieve that goal. 4. I would compare this to my Flat World Tale. Both have my brother play a big part. He is the main person in the story for both papers. The difference between the two were the events of the story. In this one I told about an expeariance that we both shared together. I basically had the same mindset for both pieces.

Flat World Tale 1. The big ideas I used were mostly voice and identity. It says that I wrote this myself, without any outside influence. I took feelings that I really had and used it in the piece. 4. I would compare this to my Memorable. Both have my brother play a big part. He is the main person in the story for both papers. The difference between the two were the events of the story. In this one I tell more about my relationship. I basically had the same mindset for both pieces.

Sestina 3. I got six random words and I had to put them at the end of each line. I got the words and tried to create a similarity between them. Once I got that I started to write the sestina. I made a poem that kinda tells a story, but it doesn't all add up. It becomes effective, because you have to use your own imagination get the poem. 4. I'm comparing theis to the Pokemon write up. This was more of a vague, idea based poem. It didn't really make scense but it didn't need to. THe pokemon was more of an essay which tried to get a point across.
