Due Sep 28

Portfolio Due: by midnight before after class

Go back over the work you've done for this unit, five assignments in all (you can access old assignments via the Calendar link, above):

1. Two independent ¶s on an educational YouTube video, from Class 1.2. Choose one to revise and publish in your portfolio.
2. 2-¶ deepening analysis of an educational video, from Class 2.1
3. 3-¶ comparative analysis, introducing a second video as a point of comparison, from Class 2.2
4. 2-¶ sequence quoting a source as a point of reference in your own analysis, from Class 3.1
5. 1-¶ essay introduction, from Class 3.2

Portfolio Format

Revise and polish the 5 HW assignments, treating each as a separate piece of writing. Revise—or even rewrite from scratch—with the aim of making each assignment really shine. Head up your portfolio with a clear, boldface label ("Paragraph Portfolio") and head up each of the 5 assignments with an appropriate label ("2-¶ description," etc.)

Submission

In the Rhetoric section of your ePortfolio (bu.digication.com), create a new page with the title "Unit 1: Educational Videos" (or something equally meaningful—it's your portfolio). On that page, add a Rich Text Module and paste in what you've written for this assignment. Ideally, you should include each video you discuss, embedding it in the text by using the "Insert Media" button in the middle of the top editing toolbar.

When you're done, make sure to PUBLISH the page. Then check that the paragraph formatting is clear and everything else looks good by clicking the "Published" tab. You can skip lines between ¶s OR indent the first line of each ¶, but you should do one or the other.

Finally and in addition choose your favorite passage from what you've written and revised, and paste it as a comment, below. Come to class ready to read it: your grade for the unit will be based in part on your performance of this piece. You will have 3 minutes, no more.
