- Why did you choose this online platform for your portfolio? What questions/concerns do you have about it? I chose Blogger, as my online platform for my portfolio because I am familiar with it so it makes it a lot easier to navigate and assess useful tools compared to other websites.
- What texts have you chosen to analyze for your 2089 section and 2 other rhetorical contexts. You must have at least 4 textual artifacts (2 from 2089 including your final research essay, and then at least one text from the other two composing situations).

Final Draft of Research Essay 2. Define Exigence Process Assignment 3. Personal Twitter Account 4. Donate Life Calendar
- Why did you choose the non-2089 compositions? What drew you to them? Initially, I chose my twitter page as a non-2089 composition because my tweets that I send out throughout the day highlight the exigencies that make me a writer. I tweet about my life including, family, school, my job and things that are closely related to me as a composer. Also, I chose the Donate Life Calendar because there is a month that is dedicated to honoring my brother as an organ donor after he passed away. I personally wrote this entry and was able to be include in on the photo shoot for the calendar. This very important to me because I am able to honor and remember my brother in such a powerful way while encourginng other to poentially save lives by donating.
