For this workshop, you’ll be making basic decisions about your portfolios. For Thursday’s workshop, we’ll dig more into the details.
- Describe for your group what you’re thinking you’ll include–and why. If you’re still working that out, have a conversation about it.
- Summarize the feedback you’ve received–from me, from workshops, or any other source–on pieces you think you’ll include. Do this out loud. Make it a conversation. Note any feedback that stands out as helpful. Ask your group what they think of the feedback. Ask them if they have any other suggestions.
- Discuss the genres you plan to include. What are some key hallmarks of each genre? What’s the aim of the genre? What are variations on it? Challenges with it?
- Based on what you plan to include, talk through your ideas for formatting your portfolio.
- On Thursday, you’ll discuss particular elements of each of your portfolio items. Send these items to your group so they can review them before we meet that day.
