Portfolio Summary

for

Shakespeare's Comedies

What did you learn?

  I learned about Shakespeare's language, life and comedies. Shakespeare has many intricate puns in his play, now I understand them. I am able to think critically of Shakespeare  (and other authors) and put it into words. I can dissect the plays and look at each plot line. The final paper helped me get all the thoughts I had about the plays as I read them onto paper, and I can compare different  plays; parallel aspects, overall themes, etc.  

Total hours spent on this project 83.5. Evaluate the effort you made:

  I am satisfied with my effort, even though I could have handled my time better.

How do you feel about your final product?

  I feel pretty good about my final product, this is my first complete electronic portfolio, and I believe that it is a good start. I found ways to make it more interesting, and not just a bunch of papers.

Did you reach/exceed your plans and goals? Explain.

  Yes I did, I completed everything that I said I would on my why page and EALR page.

How might you apply skills or information beyond this project?

In your life as a student?

  Now Shakespeare is as complicated anymore, if I take some kind of class involving Shakespeare I have a head start. I have a sense of a different kind of writing, different language. Writing the summaries gave me a feel for doing that and the final paper helped  me to write my ideas and criticism.

In your life of present or future work?

  It will help me become a better writer and a better Shakespearian actress.

In other goals you have for your life?

I love writing and reading Shakespeare gives me ideas of what great plays are and how they a written. The papers give me practice for writing papers, and getting ideas through to the reader.
