Ive been working on my portfolio a lot lately and i feel like it is helpful to go over my things one last time before i turn them in.  I like the idea of putting all the semesters work into one final folder.  Its frustrating at times to get the stuff just right but i like reading what i wrote at the beginning of the semester.  I thinks it is a good way to see how  you have evolved as writer.  I think have become more versatile because of the two genre's i had never written in before.  Also i have learned that the genre you pick might not always be the best one to get your point across.  I enjoyed the presentation a lot because it appeals to to more than the writing.  The first and the third assignments taught me various things. Due to the research proposal I know how important it is to have a clear topic throughout the entire project.  The initiating action project taught me how to write in editorial form.  I had never done this and I like writing in this form because its short and gets a point a across to the reader.
