Reflections on Proto-Portfolios

I didn’t devise my blog, but, in contrast, I came to use many graphics now.
I came to be can write faster than before. And I can type more number of words.

2.0. 2nd Semester Portfolio


There are two contents on the below. The first is an essay showcase. The second is a book review showcase. I showed the number of words, paragraphs, graphics and comments etc. of essays and book reviews on the showcases. Moreover, I selected my best writings each other and commented about them.

2.1. Essay Showcase



Best Essay
I selected the Essay 2-03b “Students Now and Then” as my best essay from 2nd semester, because I think that I could organize well. I compared student lives between now and future, and arranged the paragraphs in proper sequence. Moreover, I improved the essay after I got peer’s comments. I added some topics in reference to the comment’s matters.

Overall Essay Developments
First, I came to be able to write many words in short time. Therefore, my writing became longer and variety. Second, I came to make many paragraphs. I wasn’t careful about how to make paragraphs until this semester, but I think about easy-to-read writings. Finally, I tried to make catchy titles. I think that those are important for readers.

2.2. Book Review Showcase




Best Book Review
I selected the Book Review 2-03 “Deserts” as my best book review from 2nd semester, because I think that I could organize well. I wrote about fascinations of deserts on the first half. And I wrote about a problem of desertification on the last half. On those paragraphs, I explained the fact of deserts with my opinions. Moreover, I added two pictures. I think that pictures are an important element for easy-to-read.

Overall Book Review Developments
It had taken me long time to read books and write reviews until this semester. But now, I can read and write speedy as compared with the spring semester. Moreover, I’m careful about paragraphs. I wrote texts with uniformity in the past. I make paragraphs every topic.

2.3. Additional Highlights and Reflections

I think that the form of “blog” is an important element for my writing this year. Blog is difference from usual texts on paper. I have to make easy-to-read pages for readers. I must not only write recognizable sentences, but also format text. I set up to white background, and create my own color-coding. You can see their change at two links.
I just showed by a run of the item on "the first outline", but I showed with some marks on "the second outline".

Moreover, I came to be can write more words quickly. I had written fewer words at the first. You can see their visual change at next links.

I took about same time to write them.

And I came to use computer well.

Best Book Review

My best book review is “BR 1-13 How to draw yourself”. I am interested in the child’s face. I think I understood the contests of the book, and I could explain out how to draw faces. I tried to draw myself at the last. I think I could summarize the book.
That is the reasons why I choose it.
