Outlines

1. Outlines • Your outline should have four or five parts: • Summary • If necessary, description of channel • Comments • Personal Narrative • Evaluation • Your essay should move from an objective description of the video to your own judgement. Your own judgement should not appear until the evaluation.

2. Outlines • Summary • You need to identify the parts of the video. Each part should have a paragraph. • The parts do not correspond to steps in the instructions. • The subjects of the topic sentences should be the video or the name of the characters in the video.

3. Outlines • Comments • One paragraph should give an overview of the comments • One paragraph should contain questions and/or criticisms. Responses from the videomaker are important. • The most important comments are from people who tried to use the video. • It will be helpful for you to copy and paste the comments into your outline. Eventually you will use direct quotations.

4. Outlines • Personal Narrative • The personal narrative should be in chronological order. • At the beginning of the personal narrative you should describe how you became interested in your topic and in using the video.

5. Outlines • Evaluation • Your evaluation should be drawn from comments and from your own experience. • You should have a clear idea about the criteria (the rubric) that you are using to judge the video. • Your evaluation should indicate how someone who is interested in the video should use the video. • Your evaluation should give suggestions to the videomakerfor improving the video.
