I really hope that this series has been a helpful tool for anyone who wants some help improving their essays. I'm so glad I got the chance to make it and thank you to everyone who supported this on my channel!
Thanks I'm relearning how to write essays again
can you give us some topics for writing essays
Can you give us some topics to write on
Thanks for your help. Can you give us some more tips for writing essays?. What tool is used for video editing like a blackboard and text animations?
I wanted to procrastinate writing my essay so I went on CZcams, but then this video showed up in my sub box...it seems like a sign that I should get back to work lol
How did it go?
I can't even tell you how helpful this was. You compacted everything so neatly without making it seem rushed and you explain things so clearly and precisely! THANK YOU Ariel, I love this series and your videos in general (I have gotten many successful book recommendations thanks to them)! 💛💕✨
YES! Thank you for this! I know you talked about that this sort of content might not be what most of your followers want from you, but I can tell you that I've been a fan of you for years and love everything you put up and your instagram makes my day - and these videos couldn't have been better for me right now. I have three essays for my university course to write in a matter of two weeks and I'm stressing out, and this has been really really helpful! So thank you!
How come this came at the exact perfect time !? I have an English Exam tomorrow ✨ thank you 💛
Good luck!! You'll nail it!
Ariel Bissett OMG Ariel Thank you loads !!! ❤ * ° *
Hi Ariel! Thank you so much! In 2 weeks I have a HUGE exam (the first out of 4 in order to become a top level civil servant) and it consists on writing 2 essays in 4 hours, one on current events and the other on social science. They give us the titles and we have to respond to those titles in a coherent well structured text. This was so helpful, even if the exam is in Spanish, it is all perfectly applicable. Muchísimas gracias! I love your videos. Keep up the great work! Xx
After nearly a decade away from school, I've started studying and finally these videos make sense to me! Thank you for the time you put into the series Ariel
This is very helpful! I'm in the military and I've recently started going back to school and it's really difficult to get back into the swing of how to write essays and the like when I've been 'out of it' for so long. So thank you for making these, I appreciate them!
Ariel, this is such a great idea. I remember you talking about how you worried about your uni studies being inaccessible to the public. Now you're sharing that knowledge with the world! I will direct teachers/students to your vids!
I needed this video. Going to use it to help me plan my lessons! I have 3 GCSE students (2 English lit, 1 history) and they're all underconfident about essay writing and structure.
In fact, I'm going to assign my students this video to watch and ask them to explain it back to me, linking it to their actual essay content. Would that be okay with you? ❤
This is EXACTLY why I made this series (next episode on thesis statements out tomorrow)! Please share it! I want it to be a tool to help students writing essays everywhere!!
Ariel Bissett I'm so happy thank you! These are my first ever students so I'm nervous about teaching them. This should help!
I'm loving the mood, aims and directions of your channel lately. Sharing education, making intelligent ideas accessible to all, and sharing your art (your poetry and creative ideas).
Your channel has such an important and valuable purpose and I want many many more to see it! 💙
Hi darling how are you?
thank u so much Ariel!! i'm in my last year of an Art History degree and so much of this i was like "oh gosh i need to remember to do that/note that down." i'm currently writing an essay on 18th Century French artists Antoine Watteau and Jean-Honore Fragonard, examining in particular their symbolic and allegorical use of swing imagery within genre paintings. i'm gonna rewatch this series during the editing of my essays for sure!!!! ❤
Ariel, you're an angel. This video came at the perfect time. I'm struggling with editing an essay that I have to turn in on Saturday and this was very helpful. Thank you so much!
I'm currently a freshman in High School and I've really been wanting to stray from the five-paragraph format. It seems so elementary and I feel like I can't write to my fullest potential when using it. I recently had to do an essay about how an author's life affects their writing (mine was about Mark Twain) and it was the first time I didn't use the five-paragraph! I was really happy with the outcome and felt like it was more mature and cohesive. The next essay I have coming up is a persuasive essay and I get to choose topic (it's supposed to be something world/society related, like a political, social, etc. issue). I'm thinking about doing mine on the "model minority"/Asian stereotyping. I'm excited to write another paper without the five paragraphs!
Reese San Diego YESSS break away from that formula from the beginning! In university I have seen so many people struggle with breaking away from the 5 paragraph essay. We'll have 5 page essays and they'll do one paragraph per page. I wish they wouldn't drill that so much in high school.
Just make sure the teachers don't mind you doing that. I actually had teachers in high school that took marks off for assignments that were longer than they were supposed to be, because that wasn't following instructions. It was incredibly rediculous.
Thank you so much for this video! I needed this so bad! For the last week I was procrastinating on starting to write my essay because I did not know how. This is so helpful, more effective and coherent than any of my real life classes.
At the time you uploaded this video 2 years ago i was like "meh, kinda happy that i don't need to watch that". Today i started studying english last year and i remembered you offered this essay guide and i am SO HAPPY AND GLAD, because this is actually so helpful!!
Thank you for making this series!! I’m actually working on two final essays, for I have to compare two medieval romances and for the other I have to analyze a short story so this very helpful and just what I needed. I love how you’re making these videos short and straight to the point, I feel like it’s easier to understand!
Hi Ariel! I am currently planning out a Sociology Essay due this term. You are so personable and to the point. This video is so so so helpful. Thank you
EXCELLENT! This is exactly the way I teach "how to write an essay" but I think it will be nice for my students to hear a contemporary validate what they are learning in the classroom. I plan to share this video (and tomorrow's video on Thesis Statements) in class next week as they finalize their research papers.
I will be writing 3 different essays very soon so this is much needed!
I remember our high school teacher telling us about the importance of topic sentences (ugh I though it was so annoying then haha) but thank you for bringing it to the front of my brain. Bring on the next, love the format and what you're doing x
This could not have come at a better time. I'm currently revising my essay on the merits of weaponizing food and I was struggling with creating a cohesive structure. Thank you Ariel! 😊
Thank you so much for your video series! I was having a difficult time presenting what was in my head to my daughter. These step by step videos have been so encouraging and valuable I have no way to thank you as much as I’d like to than to just say thank you for all of your work!!!
This is a great break down of an argument essay. I will definitely be checking out more of your episodes. Thank you so much!
Holy shit, I have been struggling soooo much with essays recently, plus, I’m about to start one this weekend. I NEEDED THIS VIDEO THANK YOU ARIEL
I like how you emphasize important ideas. So cool and clear! Clarity 💪🏾
Love this! I’ve been subscribed to you for about four or five years now and I’ll be showing this video to my students.
I always found the five paragraph essay to be really restrictive so learning that we didn't use them in higher ed was such a blessing. And one of the best bits of advice I've gotten from one of my professors on editting is that once you finish your first draft, shift your conclusion to the beginning and start again for revising.
And this really reminds me that I need to get in gear to work on an essay I want to write
you have no idea how much I needed this. Thank you, Ariel!!!
Thank you for this great video/ series! As a history student I write essays close to never (only once in 4 years). This semester I had a course where I am suddenly required to write one. You are my saviour!! Hopfully I can adapt everything to the German system.
thank you so much for this series on essay writing! i'm about to watch all of it and then start working on my 10-page essay on the portrayal of grief in hamlet
My English GCSEs are soon and structure is the thing that always stops me from getting marks! This video is a saviour! Thank you!! 🙌🏻💓
I love this new type of video! I've been loving your channel much more the last couple of months. This is a great video and really helpful! Thank you 💜!
Thank you so much! I have watched your videos a couple times and they have made it less difficult to wite my essay everytime.
Ariel, I'm loving the new change in your channel. Always something new and refreshing to learn. Anyway, I loved your essay writing video. I have exams coming next month and I think it'll be helpful. Thanks for Creating such valuable and inspiring contents for us. We want many more videos. Can't thank you enough.
Edit: You described fantastically. And animation was great also. You also cleared up the confusion about five paragraph essay.
My two big essays this semester are my undergrad senior research projects. First one is going to end up being a 20 page paper on Fahrenheit 451. The other is for my history minor and it will be another 20 page research paper on a specific location on the southwest side of my town that I feel deserves more recognition in this city's history. All fun stuff!! I'm loving it.
I love this! I was actually writing an essay when I took a break and saw your video, it def helped me see it from a different POV
Thank you sooo much!! This came at the perfect time! I'm always self-conscious about my writing skills, thank you for the useful advice!!
This is a great video! I work as a writing consultant with university students, and this stuff comes up constantly!
Just started a masters program but have been out of school for a few years, definitely needed this, thank you for the tips!
I have an SOL on writing an entire essay so this is helping and I’m watching your other videos on the essay to so THANK YOU!
Im already loving the new changes in your channel. 💕
Thank you, Ana!! I was nervous to see how people would react to this, and your support is wonderful
Ariel Bissett As an literature student your work is really appreciated, Ariel. Keep it up! Greetings from Dominican Republic. ❤
THIS IS PERFECT TIMING!! I just started writing an essay on In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, and this video helped me organize my structure so much!!
I'm so happy you're doing these videos! They make me less nervous about remembering how to write an essay after my semester long break, haha. I also kinda wish I'd had them when I was starting uni, so glad they'll be here for when my sister starts her Arts degree!!
What a great and helpful video! Essay writing is so important in college and I feel like this video perfectly breaks down the most crucial parts. (Also I love the title card on this!)
Wish I had a great video like this back when I was a writing consultant in college. So many students had trouble structuring their essays.
Yess this is perfect. I'm in my first year of an english undergraduate degree and I feel like my entire life is writing essays atm... the next one I have to write is about posthumanism in relation to 'We are all completely beside ourselves'. Great video!
Love this! I’m writing a profile essay for an internship thing. Yay Lol can’t wait for more new stuff on your channel. You always have quality content!
I'm just wondering why I didn't found you earlier in life! This life saving! You explain so well and very understandable! Thanks!
Excellently made, clear and concise video - exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks so much
Thank you, Ariel. I’m currently writing an essay about myself for my visa application, and as an a level philo/psych/eng lit student, i find it even harder to write than the essays i make for those subjects. Your video is very helpful.
This video helped a lot. For school where writing a 5 paragraph essay and I just needed to understand the structure of an essay. Thx for the video!
This video just showed me what I was maybe missing out on a bit. thank you - I can now include this in my writing
I'm not even a lit student, but I love your way of explanation and would actually want to learn more from you!
Currently preparing to write a research paper on euthanasia/assisted suicide. I’ll keep these tips in mind as I begin to outline my essay. Great video Ariel!
I Am a writer in the wine and spirits space. I string together lovely prose and narrative, but am often abysmal at organizing and communicating my thesis or purpose. This has been most helpful!
I’m currently working on a few different papers (yay grad school!) One is about transnationalism, Santeria, and the Internet. The other is about ICT policy in Latin America within the context of state sponsored community cyber cafes. I also have other papers that I haven’t quite started yet 😭 I think the most helpful tip and something that I struggle with is paragraph structure so thanks for touching on it!
I have a huge research paper due in a couple days so thank you for this, you have impeccable timing
Totally need this since I'm going to University this year and haven't really written a tone of essays before.
_This video is of very big help! I am getting ready to TOEFL exam, need to practice for the writing section. Thank you very much for the very coprehensive explanation._
Loved it! I am so excited for the other videos to come in this series💕
I have to make a first draft of a an essay today for a scholarship, so this was a very timely refresher! This is very helpful. I’m writing an essay (well, more like an article because it’s very casual) on why I love Wonder Woman (the movie) so much and how it specifically engages with modern ideas of gender equality.
this was so helpful, thanks so much! i'm loving all this new content
Excellent explanations of writing techniques. I'm a novice who's writing skills need much improvement. I truly value your instruction and only hope you do more. I'm grateful to you Ariel. Thank you so much!......David
this video is a fantastic resource so thank you for creating and publishing it.
Thank you Ariel, you are the best.
best video i have seen in my life about Essay
Thank u miss
I’ve been subscribed since 2014. Still so excited for every video
I am going to have my son watch this. Well explained and yet concise! Perfect!
Yay! I'm so glad you are making content like this
I'm absolute shit at essays and when I stumbbled upon your channel, this helped massievly and made it so much more clear to me and the people reading my essay. (My essay is on gender, how women work in a professional dance work, using external and other works from people).
Ariel, thank you so much for making this video!! I needed this :)
This was perfect, Ariel and it came at the exact time I needed it! xx
This video is a life saver. Thank you so much✨👍🏽🙌🏽
This is such a cool series! I'm so glad you are doing it :)
This series is so, so helpful! Thanks!
I needed this today! I'm currently slaving over an essay talking about Wordsworth's "spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling" and how it builds community in his poem The Thorn... super interesting, I know lol
This was more educative and in general more interesting than my 'Argumentative Speaking and Writing' classes are and ever will be.
I'm writing an essay on computer game semiotics about doki doki literature club. I needed this vid to remind of paragraph structure. XD I hope I'll do good. Thanks a ton, Ariel!
Thank you so much this was very helpful!
I am currently working on my final bachelor assignment, so thank you so much for this!
Thank you an excellent resource for my students.
Love this series
I’m currently watching this at 12:20 at night and have a test tmr with a full page hand written essay which we will have to do in our first class, living in Australia we don’t really do eases as much but my English teacher is American and so we need to do one only in this class, we had three lessons from her on how to write and structure a essay and in those three lessons she failed to mention half the things in this 5:40 vid, I greatly appreciate
Thanks Ariel, for this Vlog, it is really helpful.
Thank you so much for making this. it really helped me.
This is so COOL! And I'm not even a student. Thanks, Ariel!
Can you do a video on sentence structure? Like how to use commas,
semicolons, and other things like that? I know that may sound silly but that’s something I never learned in school. And I’m a big reader so I can see how a comma can effective the flow of a sentence, to really convey the writer’s thought accurately.
Hi how is it going?
@@arslansaryyew1118 😂😂😂😂
Thank you! It was helpful.
Great video! Didn't know about the paragraph structure, thanks
Very informative, thank you!
Thank you very much Ariel
I'm currently writing an essay about judicial philosophy (government is so exciting i know). something that my comp 1 teacher taught to me my first semester of college is to use a roadmap for my thesis. basically it's your claim plus your reasons listed in an abc/123 format. example: Ariel Bissete is the best CZcamsr because a) she is passionate about her content b) she articulates her points eloquently and c) she makes her viewers feel like they have a place where they belong. you then take these points and use them as your topic sentences and before you know it, you're done with your 5 page paper in a couple hours. this has made my college career 100x easier and makes writing my essays a breeze.
Oh that sounds like a really nice method. In my case I need to start doing research, so I don´t have the reasons to back up my thesis, yet, but I feel like it would be a nice mindset to start doing research/writing an essay.
Thank you, you did a great job at explaining .
I’m writing an essay for my Dance History class about how social media affects dancers and choreographers. I should be writing it now instead of watching CZcams, but this video was really helpful!
Shayla Bateman that sounds like an AWESOME essay! Good luck!
this got me so excited! i cant believe im finally at uni, thinking of shit like mla citation and thesis staments and stuff like that. ugh!
You are Nietzsche's SuperMan, Ariel. Keep it up! This video series will be a life saviour for many of its viewers. Cheers!
This is brilliant!
And this actually helps me as in forth year in Scotland we have to write a essay in like every class lol so I needed some help on how to write one properly I I remembered that I saw this channel a few months ago and thought oh maybe she’ll have some tips and what do I find this video so thanks
Thanks! I'm gonna use it with my students :)
This is so awesome. Will you be having anything on how to write personal essays or opinion essays? I really would love to be able to write essays like you would see in literary magazines.
I love this type of content 💕
