Descriptive Essay timeline #13

Reflecting on today's experience. Today in class everyone had to get into groups of two. I had to move to another team because our team had an odd number of team player. So I ended up with team determinator. We had to come up with a timeline for the vlog we choose. This is going to be very helpful in my descriptive essay, only because it will help me break down the video into different parts. Most timeline show what happens first, middle, the end and in between. Timelines are very useful if your trying to get every detail of the story.

To start off the beginning of your paper you really need to add the time and date the vlog was made, and the people staring in it, and where the video was being made. The best way to write your paper is using your five senses, what is being heard, emotions are being showed, objects are being touch, if theirs an oder in the scene, and maybe taste, if the person is make something or they are just tasting something. Using these methods will really help you get your detail out to your readers. The middle of your essay should just be your body. Your body should have at least three to four paragraph. This part of your essay is where you discuss all the details from start to finish and include the five senses in each paragraph. Your ending should just be the last minute of the vlog getting everything the person talked about and summarize the whole video. You should never add any new details into your conclusion because it will just throw your reader off track.

This assignment was very helpful because I really didn't know where to start off. After the teacher explain to the whole class the assignment, it was understandable how to organize the essay. In the descriptive essay all we have to write is how the vlog starts off, the middle and the end and some what in between. What this timeline help me with is how to put every details in order from start to finish. It also help me put all my ideas into a form of an essay.
