Judging Portfolios

I believe that when assessing our portfolios the judges should look at each paper with the same criteria. The first thing they should critic is whether the writer had followed the directions. If the writing was absolutely A work but did not follow directions the judge should not be able to pass that paper in the portfolio. Another thing that each paper would need to have in order to pass the assessment is that each paper has to flow meaning that each paper should contain sentence fluency and good word choice. The audience who reads the papers should be able to tell what the writer is trying to get across and what the point of each paper is. Each paper in the portfolio should have ideas that are thought fully through and developed to a point that the paper is so easily read that someone who knows absolutely nothing about the topic can understand what the paper is saying. Finally each paper in the portfolio should demonstrate almost perfect grammar and punctuation. The portfolios handed in at the end of the semester need to be the student’s top game in order to get a grade that allows them to pass English 101. Being Judged and graded are things that we encounter everyday and putting 100 percent into everything that we do can help us become the best people we can be.
