Response to Examples

When watching these examples the one that stuck out to me the most was Jrapp's video about music and how it changed his life. As he made more friends by performing, I, also did while doing gymnastics. I liked the way he made his video. There were a lot of good effects and he used a good choice of songs. They made the video more entertaining. His essay was well written and got his point across, too.

Essay 1

For my essay project I though that I would make a scrapbook of pictures that show different moves that I had to learn in order to compete in gymnastics competitions. I started doing gymnastics in fourth grade and to me, then, there were simple things like cart-wheels, handstands, foreward and backward rolls. When I started competing in sixth grade I was required to know a much greater variety of terms for the four events I competed in(bars, beam, floor, vault). For my scrapbook I would make four different sections(one for each event), and write the names of different moves in order from first learned to last learned. There were also different phrases that the coaches would say to us in order for us to learn to do things better during practices that i'll include.
