I’ve taught with portfolios since I first began teaching first-year composition seven years ago, and I’ve recently started to integrate “riffs” on the traditional portfolio (e.g., collaborative class portfolio) in upper division classes. This semester, my students are collaboratively collecting poetry and their essays about the poems into a book, which they will then digitize. The process involves reflections about the poems and their essays, and their ongoing work on the project itself. One very teachable moment occurred when we started talking about what they wanted to do with their book–or what they hoped might be done with it–*after* the class was over. Like portfolios that cover more than one class’s worth of work, I think involving students in the creation of public/quasi-public artifacts and scholarly resources pushes them to consider the potential relevance of the artifacts they create in a broader learning context. The question is how to do this in a manner that respects their work, their privacy, and their intellectual property.
