Today's class discussion really helps out a lot on my descriptive narrative essay. I was just in lost of word on how to start the essay thank god I didn't miss class today. So tonight I am going to sit down and start writing things down. I might change my vlog video also to something with a little more action in it; I need more activity, after listening to today's instructions.
We created a timeline in class and that was the best idea for this assignment. You really need a time line to help you put your paper together. In the time line you have your beginning, middle and end. In the beginning, you should start your paper with the time and date, then introducing the people in your video, what you see, and what’s going on. You should use your five senses, touch, hear, smell, feel, and taste. And if you use these methods you should have no problems starting your essay.
The middle of your paper should be paragraphs, two, three, and four, so I figure I will take one minute out of my six minute vlog and write a paragraph for each minute, to have five complete paragraphs. In the middle part of your essay just discuss what’s going on, and repeat your five sense in each paragraph, tell the persons emotions, the back ground noises what you see in their back ground to ensure you have five full sentences. Be detailed about the vlog and you will create a successful essay with no problems. Your ending you should take the last minute of your vlog and capture everything that person is saying and summarizes what you have already talked about. Again your five senses are very important in the conclusions also.
We broke into a group of two and took the timeline method and started brain storming our vlogs which helped out a lot getting an opinion from another person on how to go about writing your vlog. And with the person you are paired with you discuss your vlog and what it was about and write it down from beginning to end. So now that you have a timeline you can use that as a guide throughout your essay.

Shanequa,
ReplyDeleteThis essay was really hard to get started on. I didn't know how to begin but since we broke into groups of two it was much easier. Thanks for letting me join your group. Since I read your blog I now understand how our paper has to be written. You helped me write my descriptive essay, just by what you wrote I can now go on and complete it with no problem. But the only problem was that you didn't include a link to the vlog you will be writing about. It would have made it much interesting on which vlog your essay was going to be about.
