Portfolio Draft

Revising the assignments now was actually helpful, because I've had some time to forget about what I wrote, so I could read the assignments with fresh eyes. This really helped when I was revising the essay because I remember being extremely frustrated by it, and almost sick of reading it. After revising it, I felt satisfied because I made some changes that I probably wouldn't have made earlier in the semester. I followed Grete's directions when I revised my Research Proposal, I had a lot of formatting and headings issues, so that was not hard to revise. The essay was more open-ended and that gave me more room to find creative solutions to the problems in the essay. I didn't have to fix-up my initiating action project much. I chose to include blog-writing about my initiating action project because I never actually wrote much about it in the portfolio, so I used my blog posts to describe the project and show how the idea evolved into a sketch and into the final product.
