MENTEES: Completed Portfolios and End-of-Year Author Statements
are due JUNE 1st
It's hard to believe, but this year's GWN season is quickly coming to a close! Your last requirement for the year is turning in your completed portfolio. Portfolios are due SUNDAY, JUNE 1ST.
Your final portfolio should contain the following:
1) memoir piece
2) poetry piece
3) fiction piece
4) editing piece
5) screenwriting piece
6) journalism piece
7) letter writing piece
8) copy of piece submitted to Scholastic Contest
9) mid-year portfolio statement
10) end-of-year portfolio statement [SEE BELOW TO DOWNLOAD]
**Remember, you only need DRAFTS for each genre -- whatever you started in the workshops or pair sessions -- these do not need to be final pieces.
**Make sure that all of your pieces are labeled by genre or category (contest submission, etc.).
