No class of office hours, Tuesday, 15 November for Steve Brandon

Due to illness, there will be not be class or office hours on Tuesday, 15 November; instead, we'll hold today's class on Thursday, 17 November.

On Thursday, prepare and bring to class a copy of a *draft* of a section of your portfolio's reflective cover essay (250-500 words).  In the draft of this section, use only the sentence forms we've gone over in class.  The section should *review* what you've learned about yourself on a personal level/as a student this semester OR the major points you've learned about improving your writing and writing process.

Remember, you should write your portfolio in well developed, PEA (Point-Evidence-Analysis) paragraphs.  The point you make in each paragraph should concern your learning (learning outcomes are on the syllabus).  The evidence employed--remember, you can point to more than one piece of evidence to support the point you are making--should be evidence we share in terms of work you have done or to which you can point.  Analysis will be a short discussion of the elements of the evidence you consider significant in terms of supporting the point of your paragraph.  Make sure each paragraph has each element of PEA.

It doesn't take many of these paragraphs to get to 500 words.
