Use annotations for RIP project and RA to comment on what you learned/struggled with in more detail and/or with a different focus

Section 2 annotations for RIP project and RA (major assignment)

Captions are basically brief notes that accompany each process assignment in your ePortfolio. These captions or annotations (we will use these terms interchangeably) should appear at the top of the page, perhaps distinguished with a different color.

Captions/annotations can describe:

• why you’ve chosen to include particular assignments in your ePortfolio;
• how an assignment demonstrates your progress as a writer;
• what you learned from completing particular assignments;
• what challenges you faced and how you learned from those challenges;
• how particular assignments shaped and/or changed your reading and writing processes;
• and so on.

Your captions should not merely repeat what you say about your work and writing process in the Portfolio Introduction. Use your captions to comment on what you learned/struggled with in more detail and/or with a different focus. Free to use language from the rubric, pointing to places where we can see a skill in action, improvement in argument or expression, etc.

There’s no length requirement for your captions, but in general, they need to be straightforward, thoughtful, and specific.
