1. The portfolio addresses course outcomes by being extremely specific; each outcome is a tag which she addresses specifically in each response. The outcomes are spelled out from the course syllabus, and she responds to each, explaining how she fulfilled them. We don’t find this to be particularly creative- it is very straight forward. The outcomes are told to the audience first, and then shown how they are fulfilled.

2. The portfolio provides evidence from her writing and Jentery’s feedback.  She quotes  lines directly, and often provides examples of her writing before and after revision. Her responses are also available as artifacts on the portfolio.

3. The rhetorical strategies which were most effective included her writing style (her writing and organization was extremely meticulous and uniformly laid out), her use of examples in her writing and the easy to read format of her portfolio.

4. 1. Her theme could have been more tangible (we didn’t really see one). It would have made reading it more interesting.

2.  Her writing style could have been more creative or light hearted. Right now the portfolio is extremely plain and down to business, there was nothing which drew the audience in and made us want to keep reading.

5. We learned about the importance of theme and creativity. It makes for a much more enjoyable read. Good organization also appears to be essential for a portfolio. Sarah’s was extremely easy to follow, even if it wasn’t the most exciting read.

6. 3.2; it covers all the bases, but isn’t super creative.
