PREPARATION FOR 4/23 (PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP AND NEXT-ROUND WIKIPEDIA)

Dear Everyone:

Nice work during Thursday's workshop. In our final week, there is much to do, so I promised a blog post to help you prepare.

Portfolio Workshop
As a reminder, Tuesday's portfolio workshop will be conducted as a peer review with an emphasis on navigating and user-testing each other's portfolios. This means you will need to have the following in place by the beginning of class time:

• your portfolio's structure (either on blogger.com or in your preferred application, though I highly recommend just reconfiguring your blog, since you have been working so hard on it all semester)
• your portfolio's design (by which I mean both its look and its rhetorical velocity, where the visualization of your portfolio is actually demonstrating to viewers some of what makes rhetorical delivery so complex)
• an overview page with summative statements (where needed) and all linked contents (at minimum, this should include Short Assignments and major assignments, as well as your analytical essay)
• a full draft of your analytic reflection (either as a linked document or as a page on your portfolio)
• at least one of the major assignments revised in final form (you do not need to have all of them revised for this peer-review workshop)

Wikipedia Article Draft
Also as a reminder, by the beginning of Tuesday's class, we need to have the Wikipedia article completed. I will then move it into our Wikipedia project space and assign the final round of editing tasks. So, this means you will need to have the following done in our Google Drive Class Space by the beginning of class time:

• all content finished and clarified (I believe only 2 groups have content outstanding);
• your editing task complete (see the workshop document for the various categories, as well as the pages on Wikipedia and in WWC and Style that are serving as our editing guide;
• all bracketed call-outs resolved and removed, all editing marks resolved and removed;
• all endnotes inserted with full citations.

Please do give it your all; I'm checking Google Drive frequently, so I have a good sense of who is doing what. But also, at this point you all "own" all sections of the article, so your expertise matters in all of it.

Looking forward to next week,
-Prof. Graban
