Today in class we worked with team members to create a time line for our descriptive essay. This was and is actually a big help. It helps us be more specific and gets us started and in order. The time line helps put detail in on essay, without losing good timing. What I mean by that is, I wrote a blog giving a brief description of the vlog I' am writing about. When I wrote it, as you can read. It was very unorganized. It goes back and fourth between describing the girl to the intro to what she is talking about. But with this time line, it helps keep it organized and more detailed. I can have a beginning, middle, and an end. Then between those I will also have mini paragraphs adding more descriptive detail. also with this essay, we are giving more detail. We are trying to make the person see and feel the vlog as we do, but without them seeing for themselves. With the last essay we only had to write a very proper email to our fake teacher and properly ask them to fix it. We also have to explain why and use very little emotion. We were trying to be professional. I would think with this essay we will be putting a lot more emotion to help us give a better feel for the vlog we are writing about. I also liked the fact that we are all given a chance to ask one question in class. Sometimes the questions the other students ask, are questions that you yourself do not realize you have. At time the questions asked are questions that we might of be embarrassed to ask ourselves. I think these in class workshops are great. They give us a great opportunity to improve. They also help other students become leaders. Sometimes you just have to be given the chance to shine in order to do so. I think it is a great thing that we are allowed to give our fellow students help. I think that that helps some students feel less intimidated. So it seems more like help instead of criticism.
