What we did today in class was to discuss the essay we have to do. Mrs. Crawford went over some basic but IMPORTANT strategies and ways to do your essay. The examples she gave us was to make a time line and write down what happened in each minute of the vlog. When we create the time line we list all the senses you can figure out, well the only senses you will use will be sight,hear and touch.She really made clear to do those things and really use alot of details in the essay.The reason we have to do a time line because the essay is a descriptive essay and you have to follow minute by minute and thats why the vlog had to be more than 5 minutes long, if you do a short vlog you wont have that much to talk about and the assignment is to do 5 or more paragraphs and i dont think a short vlog well cover all that.After we covered all of that we sat down with a partner and discussed each others vlog and helped them out on what to put on their time line and they did the same. This timeline really helped me to see all the important things i had to see , like all the things the teacher asked us to do. I never thought this would really helped me and what proved me that it did really work was when i watched the video i grabbed a piece of paper and made a time line and started writing notes. All the notes i wrote down were accurate and were in order. Before i even knew about this i had seen the same vlog and not understand what it was talking about but when i did the time line it all fell into place, everything seemed so clear it was like looking yourself in the mirror. So now this had made me a better writer and a better video watcher because i never saw these things, now i can actually have something to write about and not be stuck like i was
