Description
The Writer Portrait essay explores the question Who am I as a writer? by having you analyze texts that youve previously composed and then craft an essay based on your observations and realizations from this analysis. The first step in this process is to identify three texts from your past that represent a variety of writing genres and propose your scope of inquiry to your peers. This proposal process includes a video introduction of your writers portrait plan as well as peer response activities to learn from–and build off of–your classmates.
