Writing

This is for reviews for any items in the writing section of my ePortfolio. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!

This section has huge section of past and present writings.

My one suggestion, the excerpts are a bit long. I had a feeling that I was reading the entire story on some of the early writings. I would use a shorter excerpt. It would cause people to want to read more of your writing.

Given time constraints for getting grades handed in I'll be reading through your stories later this summer. But I do want to comment on your self-reflection parts. As mentioned in my overall comments, I love the idea of a Best Part/ Worst Part / Random Facts / Other kind of format to head up each individual story. That makes the reading experience so inviting. As for your biography of yourself as a writer, I almost feel like that could replace the current "bio" section on the main ePortfolio site -- or at least be added to it? That's because this does the best job of telling your "story" in terms of how you first began writing. It's always humbling, BTW, to learn how little English classes have to do with the "real" writing that students do on their own, out in the world -- not just in your case but in so many others!
