Instructional Ideas

  • Take screenshots of review graphics and display them in your classroom for reference purposes 

Classroom Considerations

  • An ad appears at the start of the video 
  • Beware of the comment section; some users speak casually which may not be appropriate for the class to read
  • This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

  • Graphics are intriguing and kid-friendly

Cons

  • Uses some regional jokes
  • The host speaks very fast which may make taking notes or answering questions a challenge
