E-Portfolio Content and Purpose
The purpose of this E-Portfolio is to be able to display the works I composed over a period of time in my English 400 class.The In my class, we spent a vast majority of our time analyzing texts and rhetorical artifacts. We were able to identify ethos, logos, and pathos in texts and were able to implement those elements in our own texts. The course itself focused on Active Citizenship; most of our writings were focused on that as well.
