A digital creative writing portfolio by a student, containing a short story, a travelogue, and a poem, with planning, drafts, revisions and reflections.
This is a digital creative writing e-portfolio by a student named Yoshennie A/P A Navendran. It is intended for academic assessment and showcases original creative works completed during a course. The portfolio demonstrates the writer's understanding of literary elements, writing techniques, and the creative process.
The portfolio opens with an 'About the Writer' section where the student explains her interest in expressing ideas and emotions through fiction, non-fiction and poetry. A contents page lists four main sections: Prose Fiction, Prose Non-Fiction, Poetry, and Reflection & References.
The Prose Fiction section presents a story titled 'The Last Train Home', a realistic fiction piece about a 17-year-old student named Rose who faces a stormy evening at a railway station after a scholarship interview. The planning page details the genre, theme, setting, characters, point of view, plot structure and literary devices used.
The fiction section includes a first draft, a revision page showing specific before-and-after edits (e.g. 'The rain fell heavily' changed to 'The rain drummed against the roof'), and a final polished version of the story. The revision notes explain how stronger verbs and showing emotions through actions improved the imagery and third-person limited perspective.
The Prose Non-Fiction section begins with planning for a travelogue titled 'A Rainy Day in George Town', set in George Town, Penang. The planning outlines the purpose, target audience, tone, main idea, organisation into four parts, and supporting details such as street murals, heritage buildings and local food stalls.
The non-fiction section shows a first draft template with margin notes for clarifying claims, adding sources, strengthening links, and checking argument, evidence, structure and language. The final version and sources are indicated as placeholders. The portfolio also includes a Poetry section and a Reflection & References section, though their content is not shown in the provided pages.
