Inquiry 4: Reflective Portfolio
Reflective Essay (at least 3 pages or multimodal equivalent)
As a way to close the semester, compose a reflective narrative detailing a specific moment of learning, struggle, and/or triumph that took place this semester.
Some possible questions to consider:
You shouldn’t attempt to answer all of these questions, but rather you should focus on one or two in a detailed and engaging way. The goal of this narrative is to reflect on remix practices--and the work you’ve done to analyze, research, and compose those practices--in a critical way.
Electronic Portfolio
The e-portfolio must include two major components--the reflective essay (see above) and polished versions of all major inquiries and writer’s letters. Excellent portfolios will contextualize, introduce, and synthesize all major inquiries. In other words, excellent portfolios will write intros for each inquiry to tie the portfolio together.
I ask that you create an online portfolio using a free online website builder. Although I will teach a particular website generator (weebly.com), feel free to use one that you’re comfortable with (i.e. wordpress, wix, etc.)
Overall, successful portfolios should be coherent, thoughtful, and detailed. Please be as creative as you wish.

As a way to close the semester, compose a reflective narrative detailing a specific moment of learning, struggle, and/or triumph that took place this semester.
Some possible questions to consider:
- How has your definition of remix evolved over the course of the semester?
- What can remix do? What problems might it solve?
- What makes a good remix?
- How have your ideas about originality been changed or reinforced through this class?
- Can culture be “owned”?
- How do values of authorship/ownership change in a remix culture?
- What are the strengths of multimodal composing? And what are the weaknesses?
You shouldn’t attempt to answer all of these questions, but rather you should focus on one or two in a detailed and engaging way. The goal of this narrative is to reflect on remix practices--and the work you’ve done to analyze, research, and compose those practices--in a critical way.
