Formatting an essay video


              I had found this video and thought it to be very informative. The teacher gives an example of how to organize an essay to make it look more professional. As a person who has a hard time formatting an essay, this has helped a lot. By using shapes to describe the proper way to organize an essay, I was able to easily remember the format. For the introduction, an upside-down triangle was used. The tip of the triangle was the thesis statement while the base was the broad part of the introduction. The body was presented as a square with a brief description of different kinds of essays.  The video was short easy to follow which makes it a good thing for many students since they might not want to spend a lot of time trying to learn how to format an essay. The fact that basic shapes were used to show how to organize an essay, leaves an impact which later makes it easy to remember. Some students may still have troubles with formatting essays so this video would be very useful for them.
