Portfolio Check 2:
Integrating Inquiry Project Part I & Adding to Your
Portfolio
Due: Prior to 11PM, Sat. 10/21

DIRECTIONS: Use the list below to help you to integrate content from Inquiry Project Part I and continue
to develop your course portfolio. The green summaries and bulleted explanations are the graded
categories. Each item is VERY IMPORTANT and shouldn't be taken for granted when designing, creating,
writing, and revising your portfolio.

Curate, archive, and reflect on four significant moments in your

Inquiry Project I work thus far.

By curate, I mean select 4 examples of work you have completed as a part of the assigned
modules.
By archive, I mean screenshot a portion of the response, copy/paste the entire the
response, OR embed a doc of the work.
By reflect, I mean create a cohesive narrative summary or summaries that:

A. Explains why these 4 selections are significant

B. Shows what is being demonstrated in each individual moment
C. Describes what you learned as a result of the each specific selection
D. Provides explicit textual references within your selections
E. Helps outside readers understand the significance of the work in the overall course

YOU decide how to design the layout of the page, YOU decide what 4 selections to
include, and YOU decide how to integrate the reflective summary or summaries.
Remember: We have completed modules meant to help with your understanding,
completion, and concepts related to Inquiry Project Part I. The four selections do not have
to be part of Inquiry Project Part I, but they must be related/helped with your
understanding of the assignment in some specific way that YOU can make a case for.

Critically read both your full draft of Inquiry Project Part I AND the
written assignment sheet, and describe how these documents speak
to one another:

By critically read, I mean analyze and articulate what is being valued in both documents
By analyze, I mean figure out the essential elements of the writingin other words, name
the choices, processes, steps for creating both pieces of writing
By articulate, I mean explain what is being valued by the choices made in the writing
By speak to, I mean compare what seems to be most important in the assignment
guidelines in comparison to what seems to be most important in what you have written in
response to the guidelines.
Note points of overlap, difference, and challenge between the two documents (See
Stevens student portfolio for a good model of this)
YOU decide how to design the layout of the page, YOU decide what to include, and YOU
decide how to integrate the reflective summary or summaries.

Add a list of 10 key terms that relate to the genre of the e-portfoio, the
course as a whole, and your topic.

These terms should help the outside reader understand what an e-portfolio is (this is
where the videos early in the term may be helpful)
These terms should help the outside reader understand your topic; think about specialized
terms such as RPG (Role Playing Game) or MMO (Mass Multiplayer Online) in gaming, and
define the terms in your own words and sentence patterns.

Add to your course source page and have all 8 sources available for
readers to use/read/view.
LINK/EMBED AT LEAST 8 SOURCES: Organize the page so it is easy for readers to view/
use/read the sources you are using for your Inquiry Project Part I.
8 SUMMARIES (1 FOR EACH SOURCE): In 1-2 sentences, give the main thesis of the
source so that readers can determine if they want to find out more about your topic. (HINT:
You can use some of your work from the synthesis chart to fill in these summaries. Keep in
mind this should be a logically designed page. Do not just add your chart to the website.
Be intentional about your design choices and use of media.)

Always revisit/keep in mind:

TAKE 5 MORE SCREENSHOTS OF YOUR PORTFOLIO DESIGN (TOTAL OF 10): This

way, we can chart the changes/development/design of your portfolio overtime. Select an
appropriate space for these screenshots using my example portfolio as a model.
CHECK THE COHESION OF THE PORTFOLIO AS A WHOLE: Make sure the portfolio
flows throughout and doesn't appear like random bits of information compiled in one place.
This may mean that you go back and revise the introduction, navigation, design, etc.
CITE ALL MATERIALS THAT ARE NOT YOURS--AS IN YOU DIDN'T CREATE THEM
ORIGINALLY.
REVISE YOUR COURSE PORTFOLIO BASED ON MY FEEDBACK: Check the grades
portion under "Portfolio Check 1" and make the necessary revisions per my feedback. No
revision, or no changes will constitute a lower grade.
