CUMULATIVE PORTFOLIO A critical essay and annotated exhibit Develop an interpretation of the complete Story of an Hour and compare it with The Returned Key or another work you can access and cite responsibly. Curate four exhibit captions that let a reader inspect the evidence. Use the local edition notes to distinguish textual claims from contextual facts. The original teaching positions support guided critical conversation; independent scholarship requires reading and citing an actual critical source.

Portfolio workspace Choose your briefHigh-school scaffold College extension Write an 800–1,100-word comparative essay and four captions. Use at least four passages across the beginning, middle and ending of Chopin’s story. Address one alternative reading and explain a substantive revision.
Build it in stages Read the complete work and retain your first question, annotations and transfer responses from all six investigations. Choose a question, comparison text and method. Identify your edition and distinguish primary text, editorial context and your own inference. Draft the essay and four captions; preserve a baseline. Each caption must identify a passage, explain a formal choice and qualify an inference. Respond to a competing reading using shared evidence. Use a peer response or labeled self-review and document a substantive revision. Submit the essay, captions, source notes, revision memo and independent transfer response.

Sustained reading Still developing: A theme label or isolated quotation replaces attention to the complete work.
Convincing evidence: The argument explains patterns and counterdetails across the beginning, middle and ending.
Form and method Still developing: Devices or theories are named without explaining their effects.
Convincing evidence: Formal choices support a precise reading; the method’s limits and an alternative are examined.
Context and attribution Still developing: General history, invented scholarship or silent edition changes are treated as evidence.
Convincing evidence: Sources and versions are identified; textual, contextual and interpretive claims remain distinct.
Comparison and revision Still developing: The works are summarized separately or differences are erased.
Convincing evidence: A shared question reveals a meaningful formal difference; captions expose the reasoning and revision responds to a counterdetail.

The guest thanked him, counted the chairs and left the door open. At midnight she moved the desk into the corridor. Frame two interpretations, choose a lens and compare this miniature with a course work. Explain what each narrator lets the reader know, identify a counterdetail and state a historical claim you cannot establish from either text alone.

Assemble for review ○ Still needed — An artifact and saved transfer response for each of the 6 investigations ○ Still needed — At least 7 explained annotations drawn from 2 investigations ○ Still needed — At least 3 source cards with creator, locator, quotation, paraphrase, relevance and limitation across lessons and portfolio ○ Still needed — At least 1 lesson revisions with different baseline/current drafts and commentary ○ Still needed — A portfolio draft and preserved comparison draft ○ Still needed — A revision commentary and rubric-based review ○ Still needed — A saved response to the unfamiliar project passage These checks establish that evidence is present. They do not assess its accuracy, originality or quality. Skipping alone does not satisfy evidence requirements; saved artifacts and transfer responses are checked independently.
