Week 3: The Writer’s Portrait Proposal 

500 words

Description

The Writer Portrait ES.say explores the question ‘Who am I as a writer?’ by having you analyze texts that you’ve previously composed and then craft an ES.say based on your observations and realizations from this analysis. The first step in this process is to identify three texts from your past that represent a variety of writing genres and propose your scope of inquiry to your peers. This proposal process includes a video introduction of your writer’s portrait plan as well as peer response activities to learn from–and build off of–your classmates.
