Everyday I go to my English class and I actually can say that I learned something new not many people can say that. Today we got into groups and started to work on our vlog essay assignment. I paired up with Jesse. Our assignment for that day was to create a time line of what happened in our video blog. For those of you who might not know what that means it’s easy all you do is make a time line, and in the beginning you write what happened in the first minute of the video. At the end of the time line you write what happens at the end of the video. For the middle parts all you have to do is and what happened in sequence what happens for the rest of your video. For some people this is real easy, for the other students who loved short videos it’s probably hard. My video was the perfect length so it was pretty easy.
I like the time line idea it really helps the writer get a good plan going of what he wants to write about, and where he wants everything to go. It really makes writing the paper o much easier. When I sat down to write my descriptive essay on my you tube vlog I know where everything is going to go no questions asked.
When it comes to starting to write my essays it’s like I freeze up, I’m not sure why I do that I just do. This new timeline way is the perfect way to write something so ill have no excuses on why I can’t start to write the best paper I can possibly write. I’m not to sure if the timeline method is only for video essays or not but I can promise you that I’m going to use it for every paper from here on out no matter if it’s a descriptive essay or a research paper.
Like I said before this is a great method the only thing that could probably help me more is to add more details. It is always good when writing a paper to have a lot of details so the reader gets a sense of being there with you.
