In this portfolio assignment, you will practice semester-long metacognition by reflecting across your CO150 experience. Metacognition is a critical skill for all of us; it teaches us to think about and explain what we are learning. In the workplace, employees use metacognition in their annual reviews to explain how they have improved as employees. This assignment is an opportunity to learn more about yourself, what you learned in CO150, and the ways you can carry those skills and practices into your future work. A4: Reflection Portfolio 15% of Total Course Grade | Unit 4: Metacognition and Revision Due: Monday, December 11th by 11:59pm via Canvas no grace period Audience Your primary audience will be yourself, and your instructor will be your secondary audience. Genre This portfolio has two parts: a reflection letter to me and a revision plan. Portfolios are common genres for professional writers, employees, and academics, who submit multiple documents for annual review, for publication consideration, and/or for job applications. Requirements for the Reflection Letter Write a reflection letter of 750-1000 words, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1" margins, and MLA formatting. While reflection letters vary in length, this assignment teaches you to carefully select examples and reflect upon them. Your letter should include the following: ● O Open with a salutation and close with a valediction. O An introduction where you provide a short overview of your letter. O A paragraph or two on one course outcome about your growth as a writer or need for continued growth as a writer. Make sure to: Identify the outcome and summarize the ways you interacted with it in class. Include at least one example from your class work, homework, etc., to show what you learned from the outcome, how you were challenged by the outcome, and/ or how you improved because of the outcome. Explain how you see yourself approaching the outcome in future classes or outside of CSU. O A paragraph or two on a second course outcome about your growth as a writer or need for continued growth as a writer.

Requirements for the Portfolio Organize your portfolio intentionally. Consider how you want your audience to encounter your letter and revision plan and arrange documents accordingly. Review the A4 Rubric for specific grading criteria for all materials and pay attention in class for instruction on how to meet the criteria successfully. Include the CSU Honor Pledge: "I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance on my writing project." A4 Rubric Use this holistic rubric as a guide for drafting and revision. Your instructor will use this same guide to offer appropriate feedback.
