Jessie's Writing Portfolio

Cover Letter

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to thank you for taking time to read my selected works for my portfolio first.

The papers that I have chosen for my portfolio are the best ones of the papers I have written this semester in the English writing class, taught by Mr. Ron Corio.

The papers I have chosen are: the three drafts of the essay, which can show the improvement of my English writing; the final timed-writing, which can show the result of my improvement after taking this course; and the best reading log out of the four I wrote, which can show my ability of writing. The papers are arranged in chronological order from the latest one to the one written in early semester.

The three essay drafts are based on the short story Dead Men's Path, written by Chinua Achebe. My essay mainly discusses about a symbol used in the story. The final timed-writing, written under the direction that Mr. Corio gave us, talks about creating a trailer for the film based on The Grass-Eaters. The last paper, the reading log, tells about my feelings after I read The Americanization of Shadrach Cohen.

While reading these papers, you can see how I improved my writing skills. You can see that I have learned how to come up with a clear thesis, how to choose evidences to support a focal point, how to paraphrase and quote, how to write an essay about symbolism, etc. I am very proud of the improvements I have made while taking this course. And I hope that you can note these progresses I have made while reading my papers.

Lastly, I would thank you for taking your precious time to read my papers. I hope that you can enjoy yourself reading them.

Sincerely

Jessie Wang
