Dear Reviewers,

This portfolio was the main focus of UWRT 1101-028 with Ms. Blandford. For this
assignment, we had to construct an electronic portfolio out of our works throughout the semester.
When first presented the guidelines of this project, they were very vague and a little confusing.
However, after much thought I was able to think of a way I could creatively portray my works in
the form of a website that would accurately represent my progress throughout the semester.
My big idea was all based on the formatting of my website. I chose a hotel, or as I
customized it, an inn template to model my portfolio because it directly reflects my love to
travel; as seen above, I have been to many places around the world. I related traveling to how I
progressed throughout the semester. Traveling is an equivalent to progressing; you are at one
place or location at a time while eventually progressing/traveling to another. With this, another
important component of the theme traveling is exploring. You have to explore who you are and
where you are in order to get the full effect of your surroundings or where you are throughout the
class. I felt that the theme of traveling was a creative and personal way to display my works.
With this foundation, I was able to build my portfolio to reflect upon how I have changed as a
reader, a writer, and a learner.
This piece is very important to me. I put so much work and dedication into this portfolio,
which ultimately led to a great outcome. I am thoroughly pleased to how my piece turned out
and I believe it is one of my best works. My creative side shined, and I was able to create a
something that went above and beyond the average. My professor was so pleased with my
works that she nominated me for a fantastic honor. I hope I am able to please you all as I have
my peers and professor.

Here are a few tips while reviewing my portfolio:

The Inn is the basis of the portfolio or the website, it is the template of the site.
Therefore, I mad The Inn tab house one of the most important papers of the semester

which is ultimately the foundation of my literacy identity.

Under The Inn tab is another labeled Technology. Just as if a hotel website could portray
the different technologies they own, I have a tab for that. Under this, is another one of

the major papers.

The Rooms are places that reflect the Inn. In this tab I have my reading responses as the
rooms. If you click the Reflection and More! tab, it will show you my reflections of

the images and why I chose to include them.

Locations are the different places you travel and progress through. I chose to put my
daybook entries under this tab because they demonstrate what you are thinking and where

you are (the different location) throughout the semester.

Exploring (Explore) is very important while you are traveling. You have to explore in
order to gain a sense of where you are. My Writings to Explore show my improvement

and how my writing skills have expanded throughout the semester.

Newest Additions allow for hotels to continue to have something new and shiny. Under
this tab houses a renovated Writing to Explore. With its revisions, this paper was able to

be new and improved.

Reviews are something that are very important when it comes to a hotel and to a students

academia. Rough drafts are vital in improvement of ones work.

Email Me or a contact page is something that most websites have in order to ask specific
questions that might occur. Therefore, email exchanges between myself and Ms.
Blandford are displayed to show that I ask for help among other questions in order to
improve my essays.

Overall, many things are connected throughout this portfolio in some way or another. For
example, the title Traveling Along with Kayla Bossart and what I say in the About Me tab. I
am proud to show you all my work and hope you enjoy the stay at the Travelers Inn.
