Final Project

I would like to use non verbal communication as a focus for my presentation which would relate essay 3 and 4 and then use essay 5 to show the connection between 3 and 4. I think that a video clip that demonstrates the power of NVC would be interesting and demonstrate why NVC is so important in communication. I think these 3 essays (345) would be most interesting to revise and relate the most to one another.

Brainstorm

For the portfolio, I plan on using project #1 because I really enjoyed writing the narrative and it really made me think about how language is important and the role that it plays for others who struggle with it. I am also planning on using project #3 because it made me realize a lot of different things about how my career speaks and writes. This project was a big eye opener because I never really thought about how it has it's own language until that project. The final project that I plan on using for the portfolio would be my last project #5. I want to use this project because it is basically what this class was about to me, learning how to write as a part of your future career's discourse community which is an important thing to know.

Portfolio

I have 3 papers that look specifically at my career field, and those are gonna be the ones that I choose for my portfolio. I believe that they have been the most consistent in terms of information and they all relate in a way to each other. Also I found them to be the most enjoyable to do, due to the fact that it was on an interest of mine.

For the Portfolio I would like to include:

(1) Essay # 3 because I feel like i really enjoyed my discourse community
(2) Essay # 4 because my wikipedia entry was a build of essay #3, of which I put a great deal of thought into
(3) Essay # 5 because it is the final project and I am enjoying it and the progress i've made so far

Ideas for Final

I am thinking that I want to revise my wiki entry, my paper on my discourse community, and I cant really at this point decide the last one that I want to revise. My first essay was thinking about just becasue I enjoyed that one the most but I'm not sure if it need to be revised. It something that I am going to have to think about.

course portifolo brainstorm

For the three projects that we have to put on a CD as of now i am thinking i will use project #2 the powerpoint with the group, our group worked well together and our powerpoint was well put together. I am also going to use the wikipedia entry, that was one of my best projects. and possibly the last project#5. I might revise project #3 and use that but i am not sure yet, if my #5 goes well i will use that insdead and since i will be going in a different direction that first planned with #5 I think this project will go well.

Portfolio overview

My three best essays were the Expliotory Research Essay & Annotated Bibliography, Wikipedia Contribution, and the Personal Discourse Analysis. These three essays were chosen because they have helped me understand how to write efficiently and effectively based upon there high grades. By receiving these grades I felt that I have mastered on developing a techinique on how to write about the situation, rather than how I felt about the situation. I feel that this technique is very helpful because in any business you need to write about the business with full resources with evidence to support your case. If you master this technique can be considered a major asset to the business world.
