Department of English, Comparative Literature, and Linguistics California State University, Fullerton Fullerton, CA 92834-9480 I feel the best way to compile documents I have written or edited in a way that shows my ability to use the student learning outcomes (SLOs). I will state each SLO in order, as it appears on the Portfolio Instructions handout, and give an example of how I have implemented the technique for each of the techniques listed on SLO handout. The first SLO technique is to, Write formally and informally, inclass and out-of-class, for a variety of audiences and purposes (Bruce 2015). This statement is asking me to show that I can write according to a specific audience. This audience could be an audience of my peers in-class or outside of class. This should be able to be done regardless of the purpose. An example of how I have implemented this technique is found in my fully revised Editorial. The purpose of this document is to persuade an audience of my peers both in-class and outside of class that Overpopulation in the Los Angeles area has been a major factor in the recent drought in Los Angeles. My editorial uses a formal writing style; this is because the formal style will give more authority to my argument than the informal version. The important aspect of this technique however is the ability to make sure that the common person would be able to have confidence in my argument. Defining all forms of trade vernacular and establishing credibility to my argument through effective citations shows the use of this SLO technique. The second SLO technique is to, Find, evaluate, select, synthesize, organize, ethically cite, and present information from a variety of sources appropriate to their disciplines (Bruce 2015). This statement is asking me to be able to effectively cite material in a document. A citation is considered effective when it establishes helps support an argument through evidence, authority or other rhetorical device. An example of how I have used this technique can be found in me Revised Editorial. As stated in the previous paragraph I use citations to establish credibility by using an authoritative source to
show that indeed there is both an issue of overpopulation and a
shortage of water in the Los Angeles area. The third SLO technique is to, Compare, contrast, and synthesize carefully and objectively the relative merits of alternative or opposing arguments, assumptions, and cultural values (Bruce 2015). This technique is asking me to show that I can construct a counter argument and discuss its merits and fallbacks. Also this requires me to relate the counterargument to my argument. An example of my use of this technique can be found in my original editorial paper. I set up a counter argument stating that overpopulation may exist but if I can afford water I should be able to. I state how it is a valid point as you are free to choose what you wish to pay for as a basic right. Yet this provides no solution it just perpetuates the problem. The fourth SLO technique is to, Organize ones thoughts and communicate them clearly and persuasively to address a rhetorical situation (Bruce 2015). This technique asks me if I am able to be able to construct a logical argument using proper writing procedures. An example of my use of this technique is found in Writers Notebook from 10/5/15. In this writers notebook I had to analyze a document by answering prompted questions. I state that the audience of the document is the general public and I use examples from the texts to prove my assertion. The fifth SLO technique is asking me to show that I can write an argument or an analytical paper and maintain an understanding of the group or subject I am talking about and relate this to an audience regardless of sex or previous culture. This means writing a paper that anyone within the audience I am writing for can understand the argument and they dont feel ignored in the argument. An example of my use of this technique is found in my unedited editorial I discuss droughts that exist not only in Los Angeles but across the world. The last SLO technique asks me be able to my writing skills and others skills through peer edits. An example of this is found in my peer response rubric I used to help my peer with their work and a peer review sheet I received from my peer. I used this to construct a better editorial paper.
