Tumblr, Tumblr, eFolio.

2. Today, we’re going to:
1)Take a second to talk post-break RE:
inquiry 4
2)Inquiry 5 explained
3)To the Tumblrverse!
4)Activity: starting to reflect
(freewriting)
5)Time pending: bubbling that
reflection
6)Homework

3. Inquiry 4:
Sup wit dat?
(seriously, any questions or concerns? It was really quiet
over break, so I assume things are going really, really well)

4. Inquiry 5:
The eFolio
Let’s hop on the web and take a look
at the PDF for the assignment, then
we’ll discuss.

5. You’re going to need…
…a bigger
Tumblr
Well, really just “another” Tumblr.
Here’s how you create that.

7. Here are some specifics…
…for uniformity.
If you choose to use a different name,
PLEASE email it to me. We had a little
trouble with timeliness regarding
Tumblr addresses at the start of class,
so remember, tick, tick, grade, tick,
tick. 

9. I would also like you to
think about how this
Tumblr…
…Looks.
Visual design is a part of your overall presentation.
It has a rhetorical impact. Think about ways to
make your portfolio as striking and user-friendly as
possible.

11. When this is done, it
should have your reflection
and links to all your work…
…you will need
PDFs .
MS Office can help. There is a PDF option under
“save as.” Or you can cut/paste your work into the
Tumblr, if you find that works better.

12. Let us now…
…REFLECT!
The next several slides contain freewriting
prompts. I suggest you save the product of this, as
it could be reworked into the start of– or all of–
your inquiry 5 reflection.

13. …Prompt 1
Think about everything you knew about
writing at the start of this class. What are
some things you “thought” you knew, or
things you believed were true (dare I even
say were taught) that you now know aren’t
the case?

14. …Prompt 2
What are the three most valuable things
you learned about writing in this course?
Why?

15. …Prompt 3
What was your writing process– in other
words the way you started an assignment,
the way you proceeded through writing
and revising it, all the way to writing the
memo and uploading it– when class
started?

16. …Prompt 4
What is your writing process now? What
has or hasn’t changed, and why?
BE SPECIFIC.

17. …Prompt 5
Roughly how much time do you spend each
day writing? In what formats? Where? For
what ends?

18. …Prompt 6
How has what you’ve learned in 111
influenced your work for other classes?

19. …Prompt 7
How has what you’ve learned in 111
influenced how you communicate with
people in your life? It’s okay if it hasn’t. I
won’t judge you or anything.

20. …Prompt 8
What lessons from this semester and your
writing– not particularly things we’ve
talked about in class, though those are
obviously fair game– will stick with you
forever? Why?

21. …Prompt 9
What is a moment in your 111 experience
in which you felt lost, in-over-your-head,
helplessly behind, or generally freaked out?
How’d you handle it?

22. …Prompt 10
On the other side of that, what was your
most triumphant moment in 111, why, and
how did that contribute to your overall
feelings about writing?

23. …Homework
You should be mostly done with inquiry 4
by next class. Keep working!
Your other homework is to somehow
customize the Tumblr for your portfolio
and have it ready to add some content to
when we come to class Thursday. We will
work on memos for Inquiry 4 and talk
about how the last few meetings will go.
Class is almost over! Oh my!
