Hi Seniors,
Only two more days of classes. I'm so happy with all of the work you've done and it was great to read so much outstanding work and reflection this last two days. Here are some guidelines for your letter to the reader of your portfolio. The letter should be at the top of your blog and the goal of the Letter to the Reader is to introduce the entire collection of work to the reader.
Begin by reflection on what you have learned this semester. You might discuss what you thought of yourself as a writer when you first signed up for class and what your self-perceptions of yourself as a writer were early in the course. How have you grown as a writer? What do you think are the greatest strides you've made? How do you know this? What pieces in your portfolio show this growth and learning?
Then take time to introduce each of the blog posts you did. What is significant about each? What do you want the reader of your portfolio to notice about each entry and what you learned?
The format for the letter to the reader is friendly in tone and should actually be in the form of a letter. You can create a unique title for the entry but then the text can actually begin with "Dear Reader," and it can end with a closing of some final thoughts and your signature as you would find it in a letter.
Let me know if you have any questions. I have a sample that I will share later but I only have a hard copy of it and will need to type it in for you. If you have done portfolios before, the format for the introductory letter to the reader is often the same.
Good Luck,
Ms. Basko
