My name is Braxton Harrup and I am a senior at Longwood University. I am majoring in Environmental Science with a concentration in Earth Science. I came to school majoring in Kinesiology, but changed major half way through the first semester. I changed my major because I grew up on a farm and decided that it was a better life path for me.
My portfolio will demonstrate what I have learned in English 400, specifically how to analysis articles and other pieces of literature by understanding the purpose, audience and context. I have accomplished the skill set to analysis literature correctly through journal entries, a rhetorical analysis, and a common good project. There is a reflection at the bottom of each page explaining what I have learned and how I have grown as a writer.
