Web Portfolio Planning Tasks

2. My web portfolio will contain projects that I feel I have contributed to or learned from and the different types of editing I've been exposed to. I will include my work on Matewan, since I worked nearly 20 + hours on it, and I made a valuable contribution. I hope that by including my anamoly sheet and a description of what I did, it will be enough to show how much work I put into this project and how it will help the project in the end. I will also include my proof of Trenchmout Taggart because it helped me to learn about editing fiction and the problems that arise. We are also required to include a reflective essay based upon on blog writings. I am not sure how I want to approach this yet, but I know I want to keep a professional tone and show the importance of this experience.

3. I want my web portfolio to reflect...
-what I've learned during my internship and through completing assignments for the 491A capstone course. I hope that I can show how significant the 491A class is to ending my collegiate career and how it has brought all aspects of my degree together.
-the importance of my position at the Press. Although I am only an intern, I hope that through my portfolio I can show how significant the work which I completed is to the projects. And what I've learned throughout college has been applied in this internship.
-my personality and professionality. I want the portfolio to reflect upon my personality and writing style so it stands out; but I want to appear professional too.
-my ability to write and express my experience effectively and in a professional and critical way.

4. Others viewing my porfolio...
- Professors (namely Dr. Wible): He will be assessing what I've learned through this internship and capstone course, as well as what I've gained upon completing my English PWE degree. The web portfolio must reflect upon my experience and showcase my work and its importance to my capstone. The site must also be easy to follow and appear professional with a positive tone.
-Potential Employers: Employers will be assessing my writing skills and the work I've done and contributions made to projects. They will determine whether I would be a positive and worthwhile candidate for job placement. Employers will want to view my strenghts and ability to learn and contribute effectively, as well as see my versitilty as a writer and editor. It is important that they view my site as a professional resume and showcase of what I've done and what I will be capable of learning and contributing.

11.Messages I want to convey about myself...
-I am a hard-worker and an avid and quick learner. I hope I can show that I enjoy this work and like to help with projects in any way possible. Also, I want to show that I am dependable, finish projects promptly, and can work with little direction.
-I am professional, yet still interesting and a joy to work with. I work as a professional and address every project in this way. I will work where and when I am needed and do not mind doing 'grunt work.' I hope that through the format of the portfolio and my writing style, it will be evident of my enthusiam and fun personality.
-I want my website to be easily navigable to show my web-abilities, as well as present a clear flow and message.
-I want to include enough information to assess my work, experience, and abilities; but not too much to overwhelm the reader(s). I want the reader(s) to want to continue to read about my experience and I can do this through my writing style.
