What we did in class on October 2nd was we had to create a timeline for our descriptive essay which is the one were we had to write about the vlog that we had chosen. The timeline has about five parts to it sometimes six depending how long you want your paper to me it is better if it is a six paragraph paper just for the fact that it is longer. The beginning that explains what the introduction is going to be about including the thesis statement. The second part of the timeline will talk about the first paragraph which concludes the first part of the vlog. In the middle line will be about what was going on during middle of the vlog. Then the fourth line will discuss the third paragraph. Last the fifth paragraph also known as the conclusion. The timeline can include feelings like what the person or what I was feeling during the time of watching the vlog, emotions could be what was the emotional feeling the vlogger felt or what looked like they felt, sound (noises that you can hear in the background), background for example the person can be talking and while they are talking you just notice a big picture frame behind them. The background is also who the vlogger is basically what you do is describe what they look and sound like. This helped me plan my essay in many ways because first of all I didn’t really know how to get started on this essay even people that worked at the writing center couldn’t understand the assignment. The timeline helped me put everything in order and what needed to be filled out in those areas. I never thought it would have been so helpful but it did really get me what I needed to for me essay because I can not really break everything down even if I wanted to I just have trouble doing it. I think it would have helped me if we had more examples of what had to be done such as getting the story and breaking it down into parts. Other than that I did get some answers to my questions.
