The Work and the Reader
Portfolio I
What is your portfolio?
It begins with a richly-linked blog entry that introduces your reader to blog entries that you have created, and discussions from your peers' blogs in which you have participated, as part of a reflective statement on your progress so far.
Examples of portfolios from previous classes have included a no-nonsense list and a more personal essay. Either format is fine, but however you present your work, it's important to me that you specify where each of your posts falls amongst the categories listed below. The same post can count for more than one category, but if you keep re-using the same handful of posts that's probably a sign you can do a little better next time.
Keesey, Ch 3 (Introduction)
Iser, ''Readers and the Concept of the Implied Reader''
In Keesey, Ch 3
Melville, ''Benito Cereno''
In Keesey, Appendix B. This is a long story, written in a style that will require some concentration. Don't leave this until the last minute.
In Keesey, Ch 3
Hamilton, Essential Literary Terms
On your blog, post a brief paragraph that demonstrates your knowledge of one term that you had to look up.
Kolodny, '"A Map for Rereading: Or, Gender and the Interpretation of Literary Texts''
