English Portfolio

Out of the papers you are putting into your English portfolio, which one do you think shows your best work and which one do you think needs to be edited the most? Explain why. Be specific. Provide examples of your best and weakest areas.

I think my best work is within my McCandless essay, I think my introduction is good and I did well on incorporating the naysayers to make my argument stronger. Although my introduction is good, I can make it stronger by saying why Chris is the way he is and maybe introducing his family and friends too. I am hoping to include my personal analysis essay in my english portfolio too although it needs a lot of work. I have a lot of researching to do and I think I may need to find another celebrity to incorporate into my essay. I have good ideas with my own life but I need to weave better with somebody else. Also I need to figure out what my essay is saying, the purpose of my essay. I don't think it is clear to the reader mostly because I don't really know myself.

  1. If the problem you are having is writing about your topic, I think you just need to research more. The more you know about your subject, the easier it becomes to write about it. I like that you acknowledge how even your good parts can be improved. Sounds like your portfolio will turn out great.
