Here is my pre-writing exercise for the Portfolio cover page draft that we have to do this week. I hope it is comprehensive, and makes sense. In any case, here it goes:
Who is your audience(s)?
As with all other formal assignments and really anything that I have produced for this class, my audience for this assignment consists of my fellow classmates as well as our instructor, Steve.
What goals do you want to achieve by producing your text?
The main purpose of the cover page for my Portfolio Assignment is to argue for my final class grade. I will back up my opinion by mentioning the work that I have done in the class not only for myself, but to also help my fellow classmates.
However, I can't really see another goal for this assignment other than the one mentioned above. So in simple terms, the goal that I want to achieve by producing this text is to effectively show that I deserve an "A" for this class based on the work that I have put into it.
What is your topic?
My topic is a cover page for this class's Portfolio, where I will argue for a certain overall grade and use my class work as evidence to back up my opinion.
How will you organize the text?
I will start by making a claim about what I think my final class grade should be. Like I mentioned previously, I will make a claim for an "A". I will then talk about exactly what I have done in class to warrant that "A". The first thing that I will mention is all of the discussion posts that I did before we were told that we should ignore most of the class shell. I have all of these posts in one document, which I will point to in the cover page itself.
Next, I will talk about how I seem to do well on the formal assignments even with my first drafts. I am also able to improve upon those documents with further drafts.
I believe the last thing that I will talk about is how I have commented on the work of fellow students, helped them as much as I can, and also taken their critiques of my own work to heart.
I don't want to sound like I am conceded, but since I am trying to justify my own final grade, I think I have to toot my own horn a little!
I hope that effectively answered all of the questions. Onto the cover page!

Hey Jason. I just posted some comments on your third draft. I hope you find them helpful!
Thank you for commenting on the paper, Daniel! I have addressed most of the issues that you brought up with my fourth draft. It is extremely close to the final version that is used in my final portfolio draft. Again, thank you for the help!
