Great activity ideas, just a little difficult to sit through for so long since it was just a video of a speaker talking with very few visuals and changes in shot.
Teresa – Aldine ISD (verified owner) –
The video clips were just right in length and the speaker has the ability to keep you engaged the entire time.
