PORTFOLIO #1

PORTFOLIO ASSIGMENT 1
THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE
Prologue: Explain the significance of your life, making clear what is relevant to your life in particular. Introduce yourself gracefully to your reader and capture our attention. Include a brief description of this writing project and its purposes in your own words.

1. A Letter of Introduction: Quite simply, I don't know you, and teaching you will be much easier on both of us, once we are no longer such strangers. Write me a letter introducing yourself. Tell me what I should know about you.

2. What's in a Name? Names are an integral part of who we are. They shape our sense of who we are. Explore your feelings about "the unity between [your]self and [your] name." Are these the names you would have chosen for yourself? Surname, middle name, Christian name? Is there a story behind your naming? Someone famous, a family member, weird initials? Does your name have symbolic meaning? Is it ethnic or historic or literary? Did your parents consider other names? In short, how do you live with your name?

3. Personal Alphabet: Browse through a dictionary, looking for adjectives to describe yourself. Know the meaning of the words you select and be able to explain how each word you've chosen fits you. Choose at least one adjective for each letter of the alphabet. Be sure you choose the adjective form of words. For example, "excite" is a verb and "excitable" is an adjective. "Exciting" is a participle so it can be used as an adjective BUT "excitable" and "exciting" mean very different things.


YOU ARE DONE WITH IT? … PREPARE A PRESENTATION FOR THE CLASS!!!, use pictures, diagrams, power point… etc! It’s your life what you are going to present!
