Each English 101 student at John Jay creates a portfolio of his or her writing. Your portfolio will be your own creation and will respond to the assignments of your particular class. As always, pay close attention to your audience. Because your professor is one of your main readers, read carefully the language of the assignment that he or she gives you.
As you respond to your professor’s assignment, look over the examples of successful English 101 student writing that are included in this section. Each example begins with the assignment and includes notes about what made that piece of writing successful.
