We learned about the power of a story. Splitting the elements of a story and describing how each one of them add to the story. As well as how they interact with each other to control how and what the audience is feeling as they read. It's real interesting stuff. We started the this i believe project. Sounds ok. Right a story as if you are talking to someone. Than record your voice reading the story. Then put it into a video. I decided to do mine on my belief in hard work. Ist a simple subject that i have quite a bit of experience in so i should have a lot of content if i need it. l attempted and failed many times to teach myself how to write a story in a conversational format. i think i have gotten a hold of the basics, or at least enough to know how things should look and sound. i tell you though voice to text on my phone is a godsend. it really helps when you have something to talk too. doing it that way is kinda backwards from the directions but it works. this i believe essay sight |

this week we the elements of a story and how each element gave the story more power. we watched a ted talk about how to tell a story. we began work on our "i chose to believe" presentations. we created a rubric to base our presentations off of. i decided to do mine about hard work because well that a pretty easy subject for me to talk about and its something that i truly believe in. we watched a quick tutorial on how to use wevideo. the service that allows us to individually make our videos. its kinda cool actually this week we as a class we went over the syllabus. which dears a striking resemblance to the syllabus of every other english class i have had, no suprise there. the next day we went over the ten rules of being human, reading these rules helped me to identify a little better others, seeing that we all abide by these ten simple rules no matter who we are or where we come from was very humbling. On wednesday the class did a free writing experiment. the only instructions were that we could not stop writing no matter what. in doing this experiment it showed me just how much my mind jumps from one topic to another with seemingly no trouble at all. I wonder if that is why i have such a hard time staying on topic when writing a formal paper, or for that matter any paper. More self realizations happening. At this rate i am going to have to write a book to keep track of all of the things i am learning about myself. On thursday we went over the power of a story. Reading this or for a matter listening to it, showed me how much a simple story could help any person reading it, remember a whole plethora of facts as long as the story being told has flow. I have been using stories to convey facts for quite a while, but i only did it because it made the paper i was writing feel better. class sight |
