I announced this in the Tuesday-Thursday class, but wanted to post a link here for everyone.

Next week, on the 14th-16th, is the Life, the Universe, and Everything Symposium of Fantasy and Science Fiction at BYU.

It is completely free and has lots of great classes to attend. It runs pretty much all day long for those 3 days.

They have several cool guest speakers this year: Orson Scott Card (author of Ender’s Game and Enchantment), Gail Carson Levine (author of Ella Enchanted and Princess Tales), Brandon Sanderson (author of Elantris and the Mistborn series), Kevin Wasden (comic and fantasy artist), and many others.

Here’s the website address, for more information: http://www.ltue.org/LTUE_home.html

This is the big kahuna, folks. The portfolio is worth a total of 500 points (half your grade).

Your portfolio should be in a big manilla envelope. You will include the following:

  • The grading sheet for the portfolio.

  • Page telling what you changed (or didn’t change) in your paper from the first version, and why.

  • A letter that discussed each paper.

  • Your final draft of the literacy narrative (stapled).

  • Your final draft of the rhetorical summary (stapled).

  • Your final draft of the researched argument (stapled).

  • Paper clipped together – Your teacher draft of the literacy narrative, the peer review sheet, and the peer review paper.

  • Paper clipped together – Your teacher draft of the rhetorical summary, the peer review sheet, and the peer review paper.

  • Paper clipped together – Your teacher draft of the literacy narrative, the peer review sheet, and the peer review paper.

    • All this goes into the manilla envelope. The envelope has your name and section number on it, along with the title of each paper.

    Peer review draft due. However, because of the time limits of the course, and to ensure that I can comment on it and get it back to you in enough time for you to make changed for the final portfolio, you are also turning in the teacher draft today. Therefore, in order to get draft credit, the paper should have at least 2500 words.

    This is the last day to turn in your papers for revision credit and to see if you are heading in the right direction for your portfolio. I recommend turning in the 2 portfolio papers (minus the researched argument) this one time before the portfolio is due.
