Pros
  • The speaker's message is crisp, clear, and to the point
  • Humorous visuals accompany the talk to enhance viewer engagement
  • Could be used as a great exemplar of structuring a speech
Cons
  • Two of the questions in the quiz are a bit bland and pointless (aside from being a not-so-accurate way to see if they watched the video), so consider pulling the worthwhile questions onto a different document or form for kids to fill out
  • In the Dig Deeper section, some of the additional resources contain profanity or content for mature audiences, so preview these before letting students peruse them
