Assignment

AP Portfolio #3 **Mr. Mullen** Remember that the idea behind this portfolio, and its extensive weight grade wise, is to give you a chance to thoroughly work through many of the issues that surround the analytical writing process, especially when it’s timed.

Portfolio #3 requires you to revise **two essays** (you have two in-class essays to revise). However, you may choose to include one new essay on one of the poems we’ve worked on in class or one on a passage from //The Brothers Karamazov//. It will replace one of the in-class essays you’ve written. Here’s a list of the poems you can use: · //Mushrooms//, by Sylvia Plath · Prompt on //A Barred Owl// and //The History Teacher// · //I Felt a Funeral, in my Brain,// Emily Dickinson · //The World is Too Much With Us//, William Wordsworth

All essays must be typed, double-spaced, and use MLA format. Please submit the original in-class essay. ***You can earn up to ten extra points if you use vocabulary from our workbooks (any unit) effectively. One point per word. No repeat points Please put all words in bold.**

Due Date: Monday, April 20, 2009 at 11:59PM. **No late portfolios will be accepted.**

Yours in solidarity,

Mr. Mullen
