Choose at least three of your best writings from this year. Choose at least one timed writing, at least one revised essay (3 draft), and one of your choice. Choose pieces that you feel show your best work, not what you earned the best grades on.
Write a cover letter that introduces your portfolio and meets the following requirements:
- Write an introduction (i.e. This is a portfolio of some of my best writings from my senior year. I think these pieces of writing show . . . )
- For each piece of writing in the portfolio, write a paragraph describing: why you selected it, what writing process you used (how you wrote it: time, drafts, help, etc.), what you like about it, what it needs improvement on, etc. Be sure discuss some content in your piece.
- For your conclusion, reflect more generally on your strengths as a writer. What do you think you’ve learned about writing this year and improved on, what are your goals for next year?
