Choose one of your essays that you wrote for this class and revise it thoroughly. Be sure to pay attention to the suggestions given by classmates. You may need to do additional research to address questions brought up about your previous work. You may need to remove, add, or rewrite the text. It pays to be diligent as this is worth a significant portion of your final grade.
Once you are certain that your finished product represents your very best work, upload it here as a .doc, .docx, or .rtf file. Don’t forget to include your bibliography, and to revise the bibliography to include any new sources you added.
Also, remember that missing Portfolio assignments or essays will cause this to be graded down, so make sure you are not missing any work.
